Scraping Made Easy

LaunchBox & More with no hassle

Bigscraper-qt is a new tool available for Linux that enables you to scrape game metadata with the LaunchBox Games Database, as well as other services. With this tool, you will be able to easily gather images and data on your game library.

Remade Twice for the Best Possible

Bigscraper-qt was remade twice to provide you the best experience possible. Going from a python package to electron app to a Python/Qt app, each redo has made this tool easier and lighter (well, maybe not from python to electron.) Now, in this form, bigscraper-qt has a somewhat native interface.

As Advanced or as Simple as Necessary

Bigscraper-qt is a simple, easy to use tool, allowing you to go through the scraping process without any worries. Of course, you are able to customize it to your pleasure. With the guide, you will have no concerns in diving deep into the software.

Linux & Pegasus First

Bigscraper-qt was made as a tool to be able to easily scrape from LaunchBox on unsupported platforms, and export this data to the highly customizable Pegasus Frontend. Pegasus is ideal as it provides some incredible themes. Bigscraper-qt makes the hardest part of getting started with Pegasus, that is, getting metadata, easy. Of course, you still are able to export to the EmulationStation gamelist.xml format.
