Extractor uses LLMs to reliably extract structured data from any webpage. Unlike traditional scrapers that break when HTML changes, Extractor understands the content semantically.

Traditional web scraping is brittle. LLM-powered extraction that understands content structure is the right approach. Works on messy pages where CSS selectors fail.

The LLM cost per extraction makes it expensive at scale. But for high-value data extraction where accuracy matters more than cost, it is worth it.

Finally a scraper that doesn't need me to update selectors every week when sites redesign
