Warning

Zyte API is replacing Automatic Extraction. See Migrating from Automatic Extraction to Zyte API.

The Automatic Extraction is a service for automatically extracting information from web pages.

You provide the page URLs that you are interested in, and what type of content you expect to find there: article, article list, comments, forum posts, job posting, product, product list, real estate, reviews or vehicle.

The service will then fetch the content, and apply a number of techniques behind the scenes to extract as much information as possible. Finally, the extracted information is returned to you in structured form.

Page types

The following page types are supported:

Price intelligence & ecommerce

• Product Extraction

• Product List Extraction

Media & discussion monitoring

• Article Extraction

• Article List Extraction

• Comment Extraction

• Forum Post Extraction

Market research

• Review Extraction

• Vehicle Extraction

• Job Posting Extraction

In addition to that, Automatic Extraction returns some general information about a web page.
