  3. Select your language — Choose between Python or Node.js
  4. Select your library — Pick a scraping library (e.g., BeautifulSoup, Playwright, Cheerio)

How It Works

The AI Scraper Builder uses a multi-stage pipeline to generate accurate scrapers:

  1. Fetch HTML — The system fetches the page using the ScrapeOps Proxy API, automatically handling JavaScript rendering if needed
  2. Detect Page Type — AI analyzes the page to determine whether it's a product details page, search results page, or category page
  3. Analyze Structure — The AI examines the page's HTML structure, identifying where each piece of data is located
  4. Generate Scraper — Based on the analysis, the AI generates production-ready scraper code in your chosen language and library
  5. 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
