How It Works
The AI Scraper Builder uses a multi-stage pipeline to generate accurate scrapers:
- Fetch HTML — The system fetches the page using the ScrapeOps Proxy API, automatically handling JavaScript rendering if needed
- Detect Page Type — AI analyzes the page to determine whether it's a product details page, search results page, or category page
- Analyze Structure — The AI examines the page's HTML structure, identifying where each piece of data is located
- Generate Scraper — Based on the analysis, the AI generates production-ready scraper code in your chosen language and library
- Validate & Self-Heal — The generated scraper is tested against the actual page data. If any fields are incorrect, the AI automatically refactors the code until the output matches expected values
