What it does
ScrapeGraphAI is a Python library for web scraping, which means collecting information from websites automatically. Instead of writing detailed rules for each page, you tell it what you want, such as "find the company description and social media links", and an AI model extracts it.
It also works on local files like HTML, JSON and Markdown. It can use AI models running on your own computer through Ollama, or online providers.
It connects with other AI developer tools and with low-code automation platforms such as Zapier and n8n. A separate paid online service is also offered.
Who it's for
