Spidra
Spidra is an AI web scraping API and playground for extracting structured data from websites that are hard to scrape with traditional tools. It helps developers and teams handle dynamic pages, CAPTCHAs, proxy rotation, and login-protected content with less manual setup.
Overview
Spidra is an AI web scraping API and playground for extracting structured data from websites that are difficult to scrape with traditional, selector-based tools. It is positioned for developers and teams that need to collect data from dynamic pages, login-protected content, directories, marketplaces, and other sites that change often.
The product combines plain-text extraction instructions with crawling, CAPTCHA solving, proxy rotation, and session handling. Users can start in the Playground without writing code, or use the API and SDKs to build automated workflows that return structured output for downstream systems.
Core features
Domain crawling
Find relevant pages across a domain and follow pagination or infinite scroll so multi-page workflows can be handled in one job.
Stealth and anti-bot handling
Handle JavaScript-heavy sites, CAPTCHA challenges, proxies, rate limits, and anti-bot systems as part of the scraping workflow.
Structured output and delivery
Save extracted data as JSON or CSV, or send it to Slack, Discord, webhooks, and databases.
Authenticated scraping
Use session cookies for pages that require login, including protected dashboards or member-only content.
Composable API workflows
Build chained workflows by using output from one scrape to drive the next request through the API.
Use cases
Lead generation
Build prospect lists from directories, event pages, Google Maps, and other public sources by extracting emails, phone numbers, job titles, and company details.
Market research and price monitoring
Track competitor prices, product availability, ratings, and review signals across marketplaces and retail sites to spot changes over time.
Data enrichment
Enrich CRM records by following links from a directory or profile page to deeper company pages and collecting additional fields for each record.
Real-time monitoring
Monitor listings, funding updates, and company announcements so teams can react when a target account or competitor makes a move.
