Dynamic Web Scraper is an Apify Actor that gathers information online by simulating user browsing behavior on the web. It reduces the time and amount of scraped web pages by using a model (ChatGPT) to make decisions regarding browser navigation and results evaluation.

What does Dynamic Web Scraper do?

Dynamic Web Scraper is an open-source Apify Actor that gathers information online by simulating user browsing behavior on the web. It reduces the time and amount of scraped web pages by using a model (ChatGPT) to make decisions regarding browser navigation and results evaluation.

Dynamic Web Scraper takes as input a prompt and a list of initial URLs or Google queries. The model then decides which URLs should be visited in order to provide the best answer to the prompt.
