We have a non-tech intern and import.io looks like like a great tool to get him chewing up data. I'm playing with it now. Why didn't it work out for you? Beyond

  It was the data extraction and selection process I couldn't get to work. I was trying to scrape a particular search on autotrader.co.uk (I wanted more up to date results than their daily emails provide, and I wanted to filter out cars that had been written off). I don't remember all the details, but I followed the tutorial video and got to the stage where you select a single item that matches your criteria and it's supposed to extrapolate from there. However I just seemed to be stuck in an infinite loop of it asking me to do this.

    I found you often have to select two, then it figures it out. I assumed it was probably because of alternating odd/even row CSS classes.
