AI web scraper that turns any website into structured data
Describe the fields you want in plain language and Lection's AI determines how to extract them, no selector configuration needed.
Scrape interactively in your browser, or schedule scrapes to run in the cloud even when your browser is closed.
Follow pagination and infinite scroll, then combine listing pages with detail pages into one unified table.
Export CSV, Excel, or JSON, or send rows straight to Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Supabase, Zapier, Make, n8n, Pipedream, or a custom webhook.
Agentic web scraper that turns any page into ready-to-use data
Open a page, click extract, and AI proposes the fields worth capturing and returns structured rows — no CSS selectors or drag-and-drop setup.
For popular sites like Amazon, eBay, and Google Maps, pre-built templates return consistent fields instantly without spending AI credits.
Thunderbit can open linked pages and pull details from them, so a results list and its detail pages become a single table in one run.
Summarize, categorize, translate, reformat, or calculate fields as part of the scrape, so exports arrive ready to use.
