Short answer

How can I run bulk web extractions with my AI?

You give your AI a list of URLs and tell it what data to grab. It triggers a bulk job, monitors the progress, and then pulls the finished datasets directly into your chat. You'll end up with clean, structured information ready for immediate use.

The extraction outcomes.

Where your data lands.

Once the extraction finishes, your data lands in one of these states.

DATA

Structured datasets

The AI pulls the final results from the extraction. You get clean rows and columns of the specific info you requested.

STATUS

Job progress tracking

Your agent checks on the status of the running jobs. You'll know exactly how many URLs are done and how many are still pending.

ERROR

Failed URL reports

If a site blocks the scraper or a URL is broken, the AI identifies the specific failures. You'll see exactly which sites didn't yield data.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the extraction hits a CAPTCHA or a layout change, the AI flags it. You'll need to step in to resolve the block or fix the selector.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI manages the entire lifecycle of the extraction task from start to finish.

  1. Start the job

    The AI takes your list of target URLs and kicks off the extraction process across all of them simultaneously.

    run_bulk_task

  2. Monitor progress

    Instead of you watching a loading bar, the AI periodically checks the status of the batch to see if it's finished.

    get_bulk_task

  3. Retrieve data

    Once the status shows as complete, the AI fetches the actual scraped content for you.

    download_bulk_data

  4. Finalize output

    The AI uses the downloaded files to present the structured information in your chat interface.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the website layout?

    No. The AI only extracts data from the existing layout. It cannot modify the target website in any way.

  • 02

    What happens if a website has a CAPTCHA?

    The AI cannot bypass CAPTCHAs on its own. If it hits a block, it will report the failure, and you'll have to handle it manually.

  • 03

    Can I run extractions on a single URL?

    Yes. While these tools are built for bulk tasks, you can use them to run jobs on individual URLs as well.

  • 04

    Does the AI delete my Browse AI account?

    No. The AI only interacts with the specific tools provided. It has no capability to delete your account or change your subscription settings.

  • 05

    How does the AI know when the data is ready?

    The AI uses the status tool to check the job progress. It won't attempt to download the data until the task is marked as complete.
