What Do Our Users Say?

"The Extraction API has transformed how we handle product data. We can now automatically extract detailed product information from hundreds of sites using just a few lines of code. The AI-powered auto extraction feature has saved us countless hours, and the schema-based outputs mean no more messy data. It’s incredibly reliable and easy to integrate!"

Jessica T. – Senior Data Engineer

"Scrapfly’s Extraction API is a game-changer for data parsing at scale. The ability to customize our extraction rules with templates or let the AI handle it for us makes it versatile for all our projects. We’ve been able to extract thousands of reviews and product details effortlessly, and the accuracy is simply outstanding. Highly recommended!"

Michael Bennett – CTO

"We’ve tried several data extraction tools, but Scrapfly’s Extraction API is by far the best. The LLM prompts and AI auto extraction made it simple to pull structured data from documents and webpages. Our team uses it daily to extract everything from articles to product details, and the accuracy and speed have exceeded our expectations!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Extraction API?

Extraction API is a service for automating data parsing tasks like parsing HTML for structured data, extracting details from PDFs or generally making sense from text data. Extraction APIs pair well with web scraping and data harvesting and for that see Scrapfly Web Scraping API.

How can I access Extraction API?

Extraction HTTP API can be accessed in any http client like curl, httpie or any http client library in any programming language. For first-class support we offer Python and Typescript SDKs.

What type of documents the Extraction API supports?

The Extraction API currently supports most text documents for automated parsing service. This includes HTML, XML, JSON, CSV, RSS, Markdown and plain text. PDF support is coming soon.

Does Extraction API use AI to extract data from my documents?

Yes, AI is used in both LLM prompt and AI Auto Extract features. Both of these features use proprietary AI implementations to either prompt documents or extract data objects.

Is my data safe when used with the Extraction API?

Yes, we follow strict data privacy and security guidelines. We do not store your data, we do not share it with third parties or use it in AI training. For more see our privacy policy and terms of service.

Can I define my own extraction rules?

Yes, the extraction templates feature can be used to define your own parsing instructions in a JSON schema. This feature supports CSS and XPath selectors for selecting data, many different formatters for formatting and cleaning up the data and much more!
