Parsera Actor

Extract structured data from any website using Parsera's AI-powered data extraction API.

Example

Input url you want to scrape in Basic Configuration > Target URL, and list columns to extract in Extraction Settings > Extraction Attributes. For example, you can extract list of articles from https://news.ycombinator.com/ by putting this value into Target URL and filling Extraction Attributes with:

1[
2    {
3        "description": "News title",
4        "name": "title"
5    },
6    {
7        "description": "Number of points",
8        "name": "points"
9    },
10    {
11        "description": "Number of comments",
12        "name": "nr_comments"
13    }
14]

At end you'll get a table that looks like this:

nr_comments	points	title
11	41	The Inevitability of the Borrow Checker
1	19	When Louis Armstrong Conquered Chicago
448	689	Meta torrented & seeded 81.7 TB dataset containing copyrighted data
...	...	...

📝 Input Configuration

The actor accepts the following input parameters:

Field	Type	Required	Description
url	String	Yes	The target URL to extract data from
attributes	Array	Yes	List of data attributes to extract
proxyCountry	String	No	Country for proxy IP (defaults to United States)
cookies	Array	No	Cookies to inject into the request
precisionMode	Boolean	No	Enable high-precision extraction mode

Attributes Structure

Each attribute in the attributes array should have:

• name: Identifier for the extracted data
• description: Natural language description of what to extract

💡 Tips

• Use precise, detailed descriptions in your attributes for better extraction accuracy
• Enable precisionMode for highest accuracy (uses more credits)
• Test your extraction pattern on a few pages before running large-scale scrapes
• The speed of the response depends mainly on the LLM output so if you're collecting a lot of data, the response time will increase. We're working on a code generation sytem to provide back data instantly, so stay tuned and sign up for news at https://parsera.org!

📊 Usage Limits

• Each successful extraction consumes 1 Parsera credit (10 credits with precisionMode)
