Web scraping and extraction
Automated extraction
Also called: Auto-extraction
Extraction that identifies records and fields on a page without a person writing selectors, using page structure, heuristics or machine learning.
In practice
It cuts build time sharply. Production use still needs validation against a schema so silent errors are caught before delivery.
at import.io
Import.io extractors are built by point-and-click, AI assistance or engineers, with rendering, pagination and schema detection built in.
