What is ScrapeGraphAI and how does it work?

ScrapeGraphAI is an advanced AI-powered web scraping API specifically designed for AI agents and modern applications. It uses state-of-the-art LLMs (Large Language Models) to intelligently extract structured data from any website. Unlike traditional scrapers, ScrapeGraphAI understands context and can adapt to different website structures, making it perfect for AI agents that need reliable, clean data. Simply send a URL and your requirements in natural language, and our API returns clean, structured JSON data ready for your AI applications.

How easy is it to integrate ScrapeGraphAI with Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript?

Extremely easy! We provide official SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript with full type support.

What makes ScrapeGraphAI perfect for AI agents?

ScrapeGraphAI is built specifically for AI agent integration with features like: 1) Natural language instructions - just tell it what data you need in plain English 2) Structured JSON output that's ready for LLM consumption 3) Automatic handling of JavaScript, dynamic content, and anti-bot measures 4) Built-in rate limiting and proxy rotation 5) Contextual understanding of web content. This makes it the ideal choice for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, autonomous AI agents, and data collection pipelines.

What types of websites and data can ScrapeGraphAI handle?

ScrapeGraphAI excels at extracting data from a wide range of sources including: 1) E-commerce websites (product details, prices, reviews) 2) Business websites and company data 3) Documentation and knowledge bases 4) News articles and blogs 5) Social media platforms including LinkedIn 6) Dynamic JavaScript-heavy websites 7) Multi-page websites with complex navigation. Our AI adapts to each website's unique structure and can handle both simple and complex data extraction tasks.

How does ScrapeGraphAI handle website changes and maintenance?

ScrapeGraphAI's AI-driven approach means it automatically adapts to website changes without manual updates. Our system: 1) Semantically understands website content rather than relying on fixed selectors 2) Automatically detects and adapts to layout changes 3) Maintains high accuracy even when websites update 4) Provides real-time extraction quality feedback. This makes it ideal for long-term data collection needs.

What about performance, reliability, and scalability?

ScrapeGraphAI is built for enterprise-grade performance and reliability: 1) Average response time under 5 seconds 2) Smart proxy rotation and IP management 3) Horizontal scaling for high-volume requests. We handle all the infrastructure complexity so you can focus on using the data.

How does pricing work and what's included?

We offer flexible, usage-based pricing with plans starting from free tier for testing. All plans include: 1) Full API access with all features 2) Automatic proxy rotation and IP management 3) Access to official SDKs and documentation 4) Regular updates and improvements. Enterprise plans include additional features like dedicated support, custom rate limits, and SLA guarantees.

Introducing Spidy Agent: Your AI-Powered Scraping Sidekick

At ScrapeGraphAI, we're building the future of intelligent data extraction — and today, we're thrilled to announce the alpha release of our new AI-powered assistant: Spidy Agent 🕷️🤖

What is Spidy Agent?

Spidy Agent is your smart sidekick inside the ScrapeGraphAI dashboard. Its mission? To guide you through the API, help you explore the documentation, and even suggest working code snippets to kickstart your scraping workflows using our powerful LLM-enhanced engine.

Whether you're:

A developer exploring our SDKs (Python / Node)
A data analyst needing structured results fast
Or just someone trying to scrape smarter, not harder

Spidy is here to help you move from idea to data in seconds.

What Can It Do (Right Now)?

We're in alpha, so Spidy is focused on doing a few things really well:

👉 Answering questions about how to use the ScrapeGraphAI API
👉 Recommending the best scraping tool for your use case (SmartScraper, Markdownify, etc.)
👉 Generating code templates from natural language prompts
👉 Guiding users directly to relevant parts of our documentation

And yes, this is just the beginning.

Built for Developers, Powered by AI

Under the hood, Spidy uses our own LLM-enhanced scraping logic, giving it a unique edge: It doesn't just explain what our API does — it can actually help you build with it.

From prompt crafting to JSON parsing and async concurrency tips, Spidy is tuned for technical users who want clarity and speed.

Here's a First Look

This is the very first public view of Spidy Agent in action. You can see how it introduces the framework, guides users through features like schema validation, JavaScript rendering, and async multi-page scraping.

Try the Alpha — It's Live Now

If you already have a ScrapeGraphAI account, you'll find Spidy Agent in the sidebar. If you're new here, sign up and start scraping smarter today — no complicated setup required.

Your feedback is gold 🪙

Drop us a note from the interface or contact us directly — tell Spidy what you'd love to see next.

What's Next?

The upcoming beta will include:

Code execution
Job debugging
Agent memory (longer context)

We're building a new kind of scraping experience — one that speaks your language.

Stay tuned 🕷️
