# Extralt

> Managed ecommerce extraction and product data enrichment for recurring multi-store workflows.

Extralt helps technical builders and data teams collect fresh product, price, availability, seller, and assortment data from supported public ecommerce sources without maintaining scraper code.

Extralt generates and validates a source-specific extractor, then runs compiled Rust for repeated collection. Extract produces source-backed Captures with URLs and observation times. Enrich turns each successful Capture into a normalized Item and publishes the complete committed scope into cross-store Product, Variant, Listing, Offer, Review, Store, and Change relationships. Explore exposes current market, change, Variant, Offer, and history views. Explore is beta.

## Product

- [Product pipeline](https://extralt.com/products): Extract, Enrich, and Explore
- [Extract](https://extralt.com/products/extract): Managed ecommerce extraction into structured, source-backed Captures
- [Enrich](https://extralt.com/products/enrich): Product data enrichment and cross-store materialization into the complete model consumed by Explore

## Best-fit workflows

- [Ecommerce scraping](https://extralt.com/use-cases/ecommerce-web-scraping): Recurring public product and catalog collection without customer-maintained crawlers
- [Competitor price monitoring data](https://extralt.com/use-cases/price-monitoring): Observed price, availability, seller, URL, timestamp, and history data for customer-controlled monitoring
- [Product data enrichment](https://extralt.com/use-cases/product-data): Normalize inconsistent source records into one ecommerce-native model
- [Assortment analysis](https://extralt.com/use-cases/market-intelligence): Analyze the catalogs, coverage, and changes observed in selected stores and markets

Extralt is not a generic web scraper, a turnkey pricing application, a pre-populated market database, or a source of traffic, sales, revenue, GMV, or market-share data. Source coverage requires validation. Explore is beta, and pre-built Explore Analysis recipes are not yet implemented.
