Short answer

How can I track my ParseHub scraping runs with an AI?

Your AI uses the ParseHub MCP to check the status of headless browser runs and pull the most recent successful data. You'll see exactly what's happening with your jobs and get the results right in your chat.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of your monitoring.

The AI organizes your scraping information into these four categories.

STATUS

Live run tracking

The AI checks the current state of your headless browser sessions. You'll know if jobs are running, finished, or stuck.

DATA

Latest successful payloads

Once a run finishes, your agent pulls the fresh data. You can analyze the results immediately in your chat.

ERRORS

Run failure details

If a job fails, the AI retrieves the specific run details. This helps you understand why a scrape didn't complete.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If the AI finds a recurring error, it flags it for you. You decide if you need to fix the ParseHub recipe yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when the scraping job arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between ParseHub and your conversation.

  1. Identify active jobs

    The AI looks through your account to find all current and recent scraping sessions.

    list_runs

  2. Inspect specific runs

    When you ask about a particular job, the AI pulls the specific logs and status info for that run.

    get_run_details

  3. Fetch successful data

    The AI grabs the most recent data payload that was successfully scraped and is ready for use.

    get_last_ready_data

  4. Report status

    The AI summarizes the findings, telling you if the data is ready or if a run failed.

    The AI checks the status of your runs using the available tools to see if they have reached a completed state.
