Enriching Captures

Enrich turns Captures from one Extract Run into normalized product data you can compare across stores. It produces one Item per processed Capture and connects equivalent products, variants, listings, and offers for Explore.

Before you start

You need an Extract Run with Captures. Choose an Enrichment budget to set the maximum number of Captures to process. Enrich consumes one credit per Capture; cross-store matching and the resulting Explore data are included.

Matching quality depends on the identifiers, options, and product evidence available in the source Captures. Enrich does not assume that every product can be matched across stores.

Start an Enrichment

Dashboard: open Enrich > Enrichments, create a new Enrichment, choose the source Run, and set the budget. You can also enable auto_enrich when creating an Extract Run.

API:

curl -s -X POST "https://api.extralt.com/v1/enrich/enrichments" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EXTRALT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: enrichment-create-example-1" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "extract_run_id": "your-run-id",
    "budget": 100
  }' | jq

Use the generated OpenAPI document as the source of truth for the current request and response schema.

Monitor and stop work

The Enrichment list and detail views show the source Run, status, progress, errors, and budget. You can stop an active Enrichment from the dashboard or API. Stopping prevents additional Captures from being processed or charged. Results already produced remain available, and the Enrichment may stay active briefly before its status becomes stopped.

Use the results

Inspect normalized Items

Browse Items under Enrich > Items. The list can be scoped to an Enrichment; the detail view preserves Capture, Run, source URL, and observation lineage.

The API supports paginated Item listing and Item detail. See the OpenAPI document for current filters and response fields.

Compare products across stores

When the Enrichment finishes, use Explore to inspect matched product and variant relationships, current offers, and observed changes across stores. Start with Exploring data for the available dashboard and data-access paths.

What Enrich produces

An Item contains normalized product content, taxonomy ids and path, attributes, signals, image text, option axes, selected media, source SKUs and identifiers, review aggregates, country, Store key, source URL, and processing lineage.

Explore uses the Products, Variants, Listings, Offers, Reviews, Stores, and Changes produced by the same Enrichment. See the semantic catalog for their field semantics.
