Using Parsers

Parsers are ideal when you need to extract data at scale in a recurrent way from the same websites. This approach is cost-efficient and fast as it extracts data directly from static HTML/CSS selectors and return you only the required JSON.

We offer pre-built parsers for popular websites and can create custom parsers for your specific needs. We can also enable your account to pass custom parsers directly to the APIs.

​

Pre-Built Parsers

We offer several pre-built parsers for popular websites:

• Google Search: @olostep/google-search
• Amazon Product: @olostep/amazon-it-product

payload = {
    "formats": ["parser_extract"],
    "parser_extract": {"parser_id": "@olostep/google-search"},
    "url_to_scrape": "https://www.google.com/search?q=alexander+the+great&gl=us&hl=en",
    "wait_before_scraping": 0,
}
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR-API-KEY>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.request("POST", endpoint, json=payload, headers=headers)
