Feature

Scraping, structured

Describe the data you want in plain English and get a live REST endpoint that returns it as clean JSON. No HTML parsing, no browser to babysit.

POST /scraper/{id}/search
curl -X POST .../scraper/{id}/search \ -H "X-API-Key: pmx_..." \ -d '{ "query": "light in the attic" }'

Speed

Straight to the data layer

Most scrapers drive a real headless browser — booting Chromium, rendering JavaScript, and tearing it all down on every call. Parse skips all of that and talks directly to the same network layer a site's own frontend uses. A request comes back in milliseconds instead of seconds — about 100× faster.

Output

Typed JSON, not HTML soup

Every endpoint returns structured, typed JSON with the fields you asked for — ready to drop into your app. GET endpoints take query-string params; you get the exact schema and a copy-paste snippet on the endpoint's page.

curl -X POST https://api.parse.bot/scraper/{scraper_id}/{endpoint} \
  -H "X-API-Key: pmx_your_key_here" \
  -d '{ "page": 1 }'

# → { "title": "A Light in the Attic", "price": 51.77, "rating": 3 }
Infrastructure

Captchas, proxies, blocks — handled

You never configure or pay for scraping infrastructure. Parse hosts all of it:

  • Rotating proxies and region-aware routing.
  • Captcha-solving, retries, and anti-bot handling.
  • Continuous health checks with automated repair — the self-healing layer.
Reliability

It keeps itself alive

When a site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. Because APIs are shared, the fix reaches everyone on it. You can also revise any endpoint in plain English and the agent rebuilds it in minutes.
