Is this service going to be very different (in final output) from what you would get with http://import.io http://import.io? Import.io takes the stand that we will provide you with the tools to scrape a page so they are not really the one doing the scraping (legally speaking). They also provide an API so easy to consume the scraped data in your programs.
I guess with Import.io if something breaks, you will have to redo the scraping logic. Maybe PE will manage that on the users behalf and that's their value add? Looks like PE may be doing some intelligent scraping as well (not everyone is going to list Dell LCD Monitors $400 in their title but they will do the normalization for you -- just a guess).
I have used import.io and it works very well for most sites and it is fairly easy to create a scraper.
