Describe your site or business in few words.
Aine McGuire, CMO: “Scraperwiki is a place where a community of coders and data scientists congregate to sift data. it’s also a data hub, a place for collection of information into a database and turning it into a form that people can use. Our business is ‘software as a service’.
We have a web-based platform where programmers write scripts to get, clean and analyse data sets. They can simply schedule code to run automatically, and they can reuse the structured data with our flexible API. We also have a data request service, which enables businesses to work with our data scientists and extract value from data. They can see their data being created, control access to it, and download the resulting spreadsheets.
Ampparit.com is a news portal service that gathers and updates almost all of the Finnish news headlines on one site. The news headlines are divided in the different categories that enable the user to navigate according to his/hers interests. For example business, culture, politics, ice hockey, food etc. In addition there are user related categories, created by the site community: for example the most popular headlines per clicks or the most recommended headlines.
