Overview#
WebScraping.AI API provides powerful tools for extracting data from websites, enabling users to retrieve structured information without the hassle of setting up a custom scraper. It handles proxy rotation, browsers, and CAPTCHAs, allowing you to focus on data collection. With Pipedream, you can harness this capability to create automated workflows that trigger on various events, process web content, and connect with countless other apps to feed data pipelines, monitor changes, or populate databases.
