Hey There 👋,
Thanks for reading about me. I’m Manthan Koolwal, the founder of Scrapingdog. Here’s a little story about how it all started.

Hey There 👋,
CTO and Co-Founder of Scrapingdog here!!
For me it started back in my school days, coding was something I developed an interest in at an early age.
Yes, I am a coding geek!!
Back in my college days, this is where I was first introduced to the concept of Web Scraping by a college mate. All this was new and I was quickly fascinated by how this can help to extract large amounts of data rapidly!! I knew programming languages by then and this knowledge and this friend helped me to understand this concept. Later on in my college days, I teamed up with this guy and built an API to track railway tickets, PNR numbers, and seat availability. To our surprise, we were reached out by one of the giants in the railway booking system and they wanted to acquire our API. We sold it to them at $36K in 2017 and this was my “aha” moment which laid the basic foundation of Scrapingdog!! I kept learning skills and languages and got better at scraping. In 2019, I launched Makcorps, a tool to get real-time hotel price data from over 200+ OTAs. Seeing its success, I developed a similar product for flight data, which provided even more insights beyond just pricing. Both projects gained a lot of attention and positive feedback. Inspired by this success, I came up with the idea for Scrapingdog. Finally, in 2021 Scrapingdog was born. Unlike my previous projects, it was launched to be a tool that can scrape data from any source on the web. Since its inception, I’ve been dedicated to continually improving and refining Scrapingdog every single day. Our journey is just beginning, and I’m excited about the innovations and improvements we’ll continue to bring to web scraping.

During my school days, I created some games and applications that made me explore the insanity of the coding world. However, I came to know about “web scraping” by my brother Manthan! Yes, he is my brother and the elder between us. He worked on his product in the morning, and taught me scraping skills in the night!! It was during my college days in 2022 when I got a deep understanding of the skills needed to do web scraping. Due to my coding background, it was a quick and interesting ride for me!! In mid-2022 I decided to launch my product which was dedicatedly built to scrape Google search and other Google products (images, maps). I don’t know why I chose its name SerpDog 😜 To be honest, it was a shittier product in the beginning but over time it improved and got better better with time. And Yes, Scrapingdog and Serpdog were not competing against each other, I was focused on Google Products only so the user group I was targeting was different. Serpdog got good initial traction and became profitable, it is still rated 4.7 on Trustpilot. But since I was a lone warrior, everything on the product side, client handling marketing was done by me only. It was exhausting, however, I am so proud that I was profitable with Serpdog. And learned a lot in the past 2 years working day and night! Back to today (August 2024), Manthan I decided to integrate and Scrapingdog and Serpdog. What does this mean for our users? Simple – you’ll get the best of both worlds in one package! Oh and If you wanna come over and say “Hi”, you can connect me on LinkedIn. Cheers!!🍺
