🔬 6 Advanced Extraction Engines

1. Context-Aware DOM & HTML Engine (Enhanced)

Scans standard anchor tags with intelligent context scoring. Links located inside <header>, <footer>, or social/community containers bypass brand-name restrictions. Also parses data-href, data-url, <noscript> fallback containers, and inline SVG anchor tags.

2. JSON-LD Structured Data Engine (Most Authoritative)

Parses <script type="application/ld+json"> schemas to pull explicitly declared sameAs social arrays from Organization, Brand, Person, and @graph blocks:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Acme Corp",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/acme",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acme",
    "https://github.com/acme"
  ]
}

3. JavaScript State & Bundle Scanner

Scans raw <script> tags to identify profiles hydrated inside modern JavaScript client states without the overhead of a headless browser. Supports:

• Next.js hydration blobs (__NEXT_DATA__)
• Nuxt.js payloads (__NUXT__)
• Redux / Vuex / Zustand state dumps (window.__INITIAL_STATE__)
• Handles JSON-encoded unicode slashes (\u002F, \/) and HTML entities (&).

4. Meta & Link Header Extractor

Extracts verified handles and identity declarations directly from HTML <head> tags:

• <meta name="twitter:site" content="@handle">
• <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@handle">
• <link rel="me" href="https://..."> (IndieWeb / Mastodon / GitHub identity verification)
• <meta property="og:see_also" content="https://...">

5. Schema.org Microdata Engine

Inspects inline microdata attributes (itemprop="sameAs") commonly found across modern CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow):

<a itemprop="sameAs" href="https://linkedin.com/company/acme">LinkedIn</a>

6. Bio-Aggregator Link Following

When a website links out to an aggregator profile (Linktree, Beacons, etc.) instead of individual social icons, the actor follows that page to extract all connected profiles in a single hop.

Supported: linktr.ee, beacons.ai, bio.link, lnk.bio, linkin.bio, msha.ke, taplink.cc, campsite.bio, solo.to, allmylinks.com
