You can train a robot to scrape, extract and monitor almost any content on a website. Here's a full overview of what they are able to scrape and monitor.
Every robot is trained in one of two ways: Table Studio, where you point the AI at a URL and it builds the data table for you, or Robot Studio, where you show the robot what to capture with visual training. See Choosing between Table Studio, Robot Studio, and the Chrome extension.
Scrape and extract data from most websites
Robots can scrape and extract almost any content from most web pages.
This includes:
Scraping a list of items on a page
Extracting and structuring specific text from a page
Take screenshots of entire pages or selected areas
Extract data from behind login screens
Scrape dynamic content on a web page
Extracting data across multiple connected pages with a workflow
Extracting dynamic content from a web page
You can train your robot to mimic human behavior to handle complex website interactions including:
Scrape data behind a login using secure credentials
Form filling to scrape output data (including search results)
Click buttons, toggles, and drop downs to scrape dynamic content
Pagination and infinite scrolling
Basic CAPTCHA solving
Geographic and/or regional based content
Monitoring for website changes
You can train any robot to check for content changes on a custom schedule and alert you to what has changed.
This includes the ability to:
Monitor specific pages or data points
Track historical data changes
Bulk automations and workflows
Once you train a robot to scrape or monitor data, you can easily scale by:
Reliability and scale
Browse AI's platform is designed to reliably scrape and monitor data at scale with features designed to deliver accurate data you can rely on.
Each robot step records several ways to find an element, so small layout changes often don't break your robot. When a site changes more, you're alerted and can retrain it, or our team can help.
Built-in bot-detection handling in our core platform which includes IP address management, proxy management and more.
Automated error recovery and retries with performance optimization.
