Can I extract data from a website without a pre-configured extractor?

Yes. Use the `run_magic_api` tool. It uses Import.io's AI logic to automatically detect and extract structured or tabular data from any URL, making it ideal for quick exploration of new data sources.

How do I monitor the progress of a bulk crawl job?

Use the `get_crawl_status` tool by providing the Crawl ID returned when you started the job. Your agent will report the current state, number of pages processed, and success rate in real-time.

Can I get my extracted data in CSV format for spreadsheet analysis?

Absolutely. Use the `download_csv` tool with a completed Run ID. Your agent will retrieve the extraction data in CSV format, perfect for processing in tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
