What it does
Define the shape you want in Zod or JSON Schema and it extracts matching structured data from a page — reading it as HTML, raw HTML, markdown, plain text or a screenshot, whichever survives the site's layout best. Because the model reads for meaning, a redesign breaks it less often than selector-based scraping. Playwright underneath, several model families supported, code generation included. Check each target site's terms: automated collection is frequently prohibited. MIT.
