1. Natural Language Prompts
Unlike traditional scrapers that require XPath or CSS selectors, Scrapezy uses natural language:
POST https://scrapezy.com/api/extract
Content-Type: application/json
x-api-key: your_api_key
{
"url": "https://news-site.com/article",
"prompt": "Extract the article's main content, author name, publication date, and any related tags"
}2. Intelligent Data Structuring
Scrapezy automatically structures data in a clean, consistent format:
{
"article": {
"title": "Breaking News Story",
"author": {
"name": "John Smith",
"role": "Senior Editor"
},
"publishedAt": "2024-02-14T10:00:00Z",
"content": "...",
"tags": ["technology", "ai", "news"]
}
}3. Dynamic Content Handling
Automatically handles JavaScript-rendered content:
POST https://scrapezy.com/api/extract
Content-Type: application/json
x-api-key: your_api_key
{
"url": "https://spa-website.com",
"prompt": "Extract all visible product data",
