Extract
AI-generated crawlers, compiled code speed.
What is Extract?
Extract is the foundation of the Extralt pipeline. For each URL, it extracts structured product data using AI-generated crawlers compiled to native Rust code. We handle the crawling, extraction, and delivery, you don't need any technical knowledge.
Why Extract?
Merchant feeds only show what sellers want you to see. Product APIs have limited coverage. To understand the real market, you need ground truth: actual data from real product pages.
Traditional web scrapers are brittle. They break when websites change their HTML. AI-powered scrapers are adaptable but too slow and expensive to run at scale.
Extract is the third way: AI analyzes the website once and generates a purpose-built extractor. You get the adaptability of AI at build time, then run compiled Rust code at extraction time. Real data from the web, not self-reported merchant claims.
How it works
Schema - Industry-standard ecommerce data
Every extraction uses a comprehensive, industry-standard ecommerce schema automatically: title, brand, description, images, identifiers, variants, and pricing. No configuration needed. The same schema works across any ecommerce site.
- Comprehensive ecommerce schema included automatically
- Consistent structure across every site
- Pair with our Enrich product for even richer, standardized data
Generate - AI builds a Robot
Our AI agent analyzes the target website. It learns the site structure, navigation patterns, and data extraction logic. Then it compiles a custom crawler in native Rust code.
- Reverse-engineers website APIs automatically
- Compiles to native Rust code for maximum speed
- Continuously adapts when websites change
Extract - Run the extraction
Your Robot extracts data at compiled code speed. No runtime AI inference, no LLM calls during extraction. Just fast, reliable data collection.
- Crawl entire catalogs in minutes
- Real-time progress in your dashboard
- Export as JSON, Parquet, or via API
