Common questions
No. The no-code form and AI chat mode let you extract public data directly in your browser — no setup, no terminal, no API key required. The REST API is available when you're ready to integrate programmatically.
Via the API you receive structured JSON. Via the no-code form you can download CSV, Excel, or JSON. Webhook delivery — where results are POSTed to your own endpoint — is also supported on all plans.
A single product page or URL costs one request credit. Bulk keyword searches count one credit per result returned. You can preview counts before a bulk job starts.
Yes. Our managed extraction infrastructure supports browser rendering, JavaScript execution, retry handling, and rate-limited requests to help retrieve publicly available page data reliably.
Yes. Every account gets free trial credits. Use them with the no-code form, API, or AI chat to verify the data quality before choosing a paid plan.
All extractions are performed in real time against the live page. Data is as current as the source at the moment of your request — there is no cached or stale dataset.
