Parsagon - Scrape sites with just their URLs

Give a list of URLs, get back a set of scrapers!

Hi YC! We’re excited to announce that Parsagon now offers a new AI scraping service: you give a list of URLs, and you get back a set of scrapers!

The Problem:

Parsagon's AI allows you to generate web scrapers from natural language prompts. For example, you can get city population data from Wikipedia by telling our AI:

_Go to _https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities. Scrape data in the format [{"city": "str", "link": "link", "population": "num"}]

This works fine if you want to scrape a single site, but what if you want to scrape dozens, hundreds, or thousands of sites? What if each site works differently and needs a slightly different prompt? While it's faster than writing thousands of scrapers, writing thousands of prompts is still a lot of work.

The Solution:

Now you can give Parsagon a list of sites and the data you want from each site, and we'll pass that list to Upworkers trained to use Parsagon. The Upworkers write a prompt for each site, and you get scrapers for a fraction of the time/cost it would take to write code or hire developers! 🎉 For example, companies are using Parsagon to:

  • generate scrapers that monitor hundreds of state/local government websites for events and announcements related to economic policy
  • generate scrapers for thousands of company websites to get details on private companies’ financials and investors
  • scrape laws from government websites across the EU to create an AI legal assistant
