ChatGPT Search Scraper

Retrieve well-structured, cited responses from ChatGPT - optimized for fast, reliable sourcing in research, content, and automation workflows.

What does ChatGPT Search Scraper do?

The ChatGPT Search Scraper enables you to input a list of prompts and retrieve AI-generated answers with relevant citations. It mimics the ChatGPT web experience - including the citations panel - giving you not only the final response, but also the sources behind it.

This Actor is ideal if you need to:

• Automate question-answering or AI research tasks
• Access ChatGPT-like responses programmatically
• Perform bulk prompt querying with structured outputs
• Analyze referenced sources used by ChatGPT to generate responses

Key Features

• Prompt-Based Queries: Submit a list of prompts you want ChatGPT to answer.
• Citation Extraction: Retrieve both the response and all direct/indirect citations used to generate it. This goes beyond the OpenAI API, which only returns limited references - making this Actor ideal for research, transparency, and auditability.
• Proxy Configuration: Use residential proxies and optionally select from multiple countries to tailor search results to specific locations.
• Bulk Automation: Run hundreds of queries at once and access results in a structured, easy-to-parse format.
