Overview

End-to-end automation scans pages, extracts data, and notifies you.

The AI agent automatically visits a chosen webpage on a schedule, extracts targeted data such as job titles, product names, stock status, and links using CSS selectors or XPath, and formats the results for easy review. It stores a history of findings to track changes over time and provides clear, structured data ready for reporting. When new or changed information is detected, it sends a Telegram alert with a concise summary and links, so you can act immediately.

FAQ

FAQ

Practical questions with clear answers.

It can monitor any public webpage accessible from a browser. You specify the exact URL and CSS/XPath selectors for the data you need. If a page renders content dynamically, the headless browser will render it before extraction. Ensure you comply with the site’s terms of use and robots.txt. If data is behind a login, additional setup is needed to authenticate.

Check intervals are configurable, with options such as hourly or daily. The system handles scheduling and retry logic to ensure timely updates without overloading the source. You can pause or adjust checks at any time. A history is maintained for review.

Minimal technical knowledge is required to identify the target URL and data selectors. The agent operates a headless browser to fetch pages and apply selectors, so non-developers can configure most setups. Advanced users can add custom logic or AI-assisted summaries. Documentation provides step-by-step setup guidance.

Yes. An optional AI summarization step can generate concise notes from extracted content. This is useful for quick sharing or reporting. Summaries can be stored alongside raw data for context. You can disable it if you only need raw fields.

Telegram is the primary notification channel. The setup can be extended to other services via webhooks if needed. Alerts include key data points and links for quick action. You can customize the alert content and trigger conditions.

The agent uses polite check frequencies and respects site terms. It relies on publicly accessible data and avoids aggressive scraping. If a site blocks requests, adjust selectors or frequency. Always monitor compliance with the site’s terms of use.

Webhooks/HTTP endpoint integration allows sending scraped data to any external system. Route data to your API, data warehouse, or BI tool for custom workflows. This enables seamless integration with existing processes. If you need tailored guidance, you can request it.
