Glossary

Capture

A single extracted data record produced by a run. Contains structured ecommerce product data.

See Working with Captures.

Credit

The unit of usage billing. 1 credit = 1 URL extracted during a run. Credits are included in your subscription plan and consumed as URLs are processed.

See Credits & Billing.

Organization

The top-level scope for all Extralt resources. Robots, runs, captures, credits, and API keys belong to an organization. Each org has its own subscription. Users can belong to multiple organizations.

See Account Setup.

Robot

An AI-generated crawler compiled to Rust for a specific host and country. Robots understand a site's structure and extract structured product data. Reusable across multiple runs.

See Robots.

Robot Build

The process of creating a robot. Extralt's AI analyzes the target site, generates extraction logic, and compiles it to a Rust binary. Builds typically take 3-5 minutes.

See Robots.

Run

An extraction job that uses a robot to crawl start URLs and produce captures. Runs have a lifecycle (pending, running, completed, failed, stopped) and optionally a budget to limit credit usage.

See Running Extractions.
