ImportFromWeb is an add-on for Google Sheets that extends the list of functions provided by the platform. It is a perfect alternative to the native function ImportXML.
It adds a new function =IMPORTFROMWEB() to your spreadsheets, which is a powerful, yet easy-to-use, Web Scraper.
=IMPORTFROMWEB() imports any data from any website in your spreadsheet in real time.

This is why we have created an original tool that works natively with Google Sheets.
We believe spreadsheets are the best instruments to sort, filter, crunch, cross data in an easy way, without requiring technical skills.
