Short answer

How can I scrape large amounts of data using my AI?

You tell your AI to create a batch of URLs via Olostep. The AI then manages the scraping jobs and pulls the structured results directly into your chat for analysis. You get organized data without manual clicking or copy-pasting.

The results.

Where your data lands.

The scraping process moves from raw URLs to structured datasets.

BATCHES

Active scraping jobs

The AI tracks every URL you want to scrape. You can see which jobs are running or finished.

STRUCTURED

Cleaned data sets

Once a job finishes, the AI pulls the specific fields you asked for. You get clean text or numbers ready for your next task.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If a site blocks the scraper or the layout changes, the AI flags the error. You decide how to handle those specific failures.

ANALYSIS

Ready for insight

The extracted data lives in your chat context. You can immediately ask your AI to summarize, compare, or graph the results.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of managing multiple web requests at once.

  1. Initialize the job

    Your AI takes your list of target URLs and bundles them into a single processing unit.

    create_batch

  2. Monitor progress

    The AI checks on the status of the scraping jobs to see which URLs are done and which are still pending.

    list_batches

  3. Retrieve results

    Once the scraping is complete, the AI pulls the specific data points from the finished batch.

    get_batch

  4. Process data

    The AI takes the raw scraped content and formats it into the structure you requested.

    get_batch

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI scrape websites that require a login?

    No. The current tools only support scraping publicly accessible URLs.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete any of my existing data?

    No. The tools are read-only for existing data; they only create and retrieve new batches.

  • 03

    Can I stop a scraping job halfway through?

    The current tools allow you to list and get batch data, but they do not include a tool to cancel an active batch.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which data to pull?

    You tell the AI what you want in your prompt, and it uses the scraped content to find those specific details.

  • 05

    Can the AI save the data directly to a Google Sheet?

    No. The AI can extract the data, but you must tell it to format the output so you can copy it into a sheet yourself.
