Connect Browse AI to your agent to turn any website into a source of structured data. Once connected, you just provide a URL and your AI handles the extraction.

Short answer

Can I scrape any website with my AI?

Yes. You tell your agent to run a robot on a specific URL, and it returns the data as structured JSON. You'll get clean, organized information ready for your next prompt.

Data extraction outcomes

Where your data lands.

The results of your scraping tasks land in these formats.

DATA

Structured JSON results

The robot pulls the specific fields you need and hands them to your agent as clean JSON. This makes it easy to feed the data into other prompts.

STATUS

Real-time task tracking

You can check if a scrape is still running or if it finished successfully. Your agent monitors the progress of the robot automatically.

LOGS

Extraction history

Every successful run is recorded. You can look back at previous scrapes to see exactly what was captured from a specific URL.

HUMAN

Manual intervention needed

If a website blocks the robot or changes its layout, the task will fail. You'll need to step in and update the robot's instructions in Browse AI.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a scrape.

Your agent manages the entire lifecycle of the web scraping process through Browse AI.

  1. Start the scrape

    Your AI tells Browse AI to begin a new extraction job on a specific URL you provide.

    run_robot

  2. Monitor progress

    The agent checks the status of the active scraping job to see if it is still working or completed.

    get_task

  3. Retrieve data

    Once the robot finishes, your AI pulls the final structured data from the completed task.

    get_task_data

  4. Analyze results

    The agent processes the JSON output to answer your questions or format the data for your use.

    get_task_data

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI scrape websites that require a login?

    No. The AI can only run robots that you have already configured with the necessary session or login steps in Browse AI.

  • 02

    Will the AI automatically fix a broken scraper?

    No. If a website changes its structure and the robot fails, the AI cannot rewrite the robot's logic. You must update the robot in Browse AI yourself.

  • 03

    What format is the scraped data in?

    The data is returned as structured JSON, which your agent can then read and interpret.

  • 04

    Can I scrape multiple pages at once?

    Yes, if your Browse AI robot is configured to handle pagination or multiple URLs.

  • 05

    Does the AI store the data permanently?

    No. The AI retrieves the data from the task results. Long-term storage of the scraped data is up to you.
