Data extraction: https://simplescraper.io

A project that I launched on HN that became a business. Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html').

Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402[1]

I like simplescraper. It reminds me of (https://www.withparse.com/) and (https://www.parse.bot/)

It suggests to me that the underlying architecture probably isn't too complicated, so I'd wish for an open-source solution

Do you handle captcha and bot detection well? I need a solution for Walmart and Mercado Libre that doesn’t require residential proxies
