Short answer

How can I scrape JavaScript-heavy sites with my AI?

Your agent uses Zyte to render the full page, bypassing bot detection and executing JavaScript automatically. This gives your AI access to the complete HTML structure instead of just the raw source code. You get the data you need without writing custom scraping scripts.

The results you get

What your agent extracts

The process turns complex web pages into usable information for your agent.

DATA

Clean HTML output

The agent receives the fully rendered DOM. This includes all content loaded via JavaScript or AJAX.

ACCESS

Bot detection bypass

Zyte handles the rotation of proxies and browser fingerprints. Your agent stays undetected while navigating complex sites.

LOGIC

Automated rendering

The agent doesn't need to manage headless browsers. The connector executes the scripts and presents the final state.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

You still need to check the extracted data for accuracy. The AI pulls the content, but you verify the final results.

The workflow

What your AI does when the URL arrives.

The agent delegates the difficult browser tasks to Zyte to ensure it sees exactly what a human sees.

  1. Request the page

    Your agent sends the target URL to the connector to initiate the session.

    extract_data

  2. Bypass blocks

    Zyte manages the proxy rotation and headers to prevent the site from blocking the request.

    extract_data

  3. Execute JavaScript

    The connector waits for all scripts to run and the DOM to fully populate.

    extract_data

  4. Deliver HTML

    The fully rendered HTML is passed back to your agent for processing.

FAQ

How the scraping behaves

  • 01

    Does the AI handle the proxy rotation?

    No, the AI doesn't manage proxies. Zyte handles all proxy rotation and bot detection bypass automatically.

  • 02

    Can the AI click buttons on a page?

    No. This connector is designed to extract the rendered HTML of a page. It does not perform interactive browser actions like clicking or scrolling.

  • 03

    Will it work on sites with heavy JavaScript?

    Yes. The connector executes the JavaScript so the agent sees the fully rendered content.

  • 04

    Does the AI decide which proxy to use?

    No. The decision is handled by the Zyte infrastructure to ensure the request succeeds.

  • 05

    Can the AI save the data directly to a database?

    No. The agent extracts the data, but you are responsible for sending that data to your own database or spreadsheet.
