I built an API to extract product, email & article data from ANY website (No Scraping Needed)

๐Ÿš€ I Built an AI Web Data Extractor API (No-Code Scraper)

Scraping websites is painful.

  • โŒ Writing selectors for every site
  • โŒ Getting blocked
  • โŒ Handling dynamic content

So I built something simpler ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”ฅ AI Web Data Extractor API

๐Ÿ‘‰ Extract structured data from ANY URL:

  • ๐Ÿ›’ Product data (title, price, image)
  • ๐Ÿ“ง Emails from pages
  • ๐Ÿ“ฐ Article content
  • ๐Ÿค– Auto-detection of page type

โš™๏ธ How it works

  • Static scraping (Axios + Cheerio)
  • Browser fallback (Puppeteer)
  • Smart extraction logic
  • Clean JSON output

๐Ÿš€ Try it here

๐Ÿงช Example Request

curl -X POST https://your-api-url/api/v1/extract \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "type": "product"
}'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ“ฆ Example Response

{
  "title": "Product Name",
  "price": 19.99,
  "currency": "USD"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ’ก Why I built this

Most scraping tools are:

  • expensive ๐Ÿ’ธ
  • complex ๐Ÿง 

This API is:

  • simple โœ…
  • fast โšก
  • ready to use ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ”ฅ Use cases

  • SaaS builders
  • price trackers
  • lead generation tools
  • market research

โš ๏ธ Notes

Some websites may block scraping or require browser fallback.
