FAQs
How does Lightfeed's extraction process work?
Lightfeed uses AI models (Large Language Models) to intelligently extract structured data from any website, and maintain your own searchable, up-to-date data source. You simply describe what data you need in plain English, and our system: * Creates a schema automatically from your description, defining the fields and structure. * Crawls targeted websites using advanced techniques to bypass blocks and handle dynamic content. * Uses AI agents to navigate website interactions intelligently handling pagination, form inputs, and dynamic elements that traditional scrapers can't process. * Leverages LLMs to extract structured data analyzing page content semantically to identify and extract the specific information that matches your requirements. * Updates your database automatically on your defined schedule, maintaining data freshness while handling deduplication and allowing you to query and analyze your data in one place.
What websites can I extract data from?
Lightfeed supports extraction from virtually any public website, including: * Regular websites * LinkedIn company and user profiles * E-commerce platforms * Real estate listings * News and media sites * Google Search results * Forums and discussion boards Many sites that traditional scrapers struggle with can be processed reliably through our LLM-based approach.
Why does Lightfeed automatically work with all website layouts, even when they change?
Unlike traditional web scrapers that break when websites change their layout or content, Lightfeed leverages Large Language Models to understand the semantic meaning of web pages. This allows our system to adapt automatically to website structure changes, saving you time and resources that would otherwise be spent maintaining fragile scrapers.Even when field keys or identifiers change, our LLM-based approach can still understand content semantically, correctly matching data to your schema and ensuring your database remains clean and consistent despite website updates.
Can I schedule automatic extractions?
Yes, Lightfeed offers flexible scheduling options. You can configure extractions to run daily, weekly, or at specific times that match your business needs. Each extraction follows your defined prompt and schema, with results automatically deduplicated and added to your database.
What does 'tokens' mean in the pricing plans?
Tokens in our pricing plans refer to LLM (Large Language Model) tokens consumed during the extraction process. These tokens are used when our AI: * Navigates through web pages intelligently * Reads and processes web content * Extracts structured data according to your schema We implement best practices in LLM usage to maintain efficient token consumption, allowing our Pro plan users to extract significantly more data with their allocation. For context, an average web page of around 1,000 words consumes approximately 1,300-1,500 tokens to process, while shorter pages like product listings might use only 65-75 tokens each.Most business users find the Pro plan provides ample extraction capacity for their ongoing needs, with the dashboard making it easy to monitor your usage and extraction efficiency.
Can I access my extracted data via API?
Yes! All plans include API access to your extracted data. We provide REST API, Node and Python SDKs that allow you to query your database, filter results, and integrate the data into your applications or workflows. Our documentation includes detailed API references and examples at [our integration guides](/docs/integrations).
How can I receive updates and integrate Lightfeed with my existing tools?
Lightfeed offers email notifications that keep you informed about extraction updates. You can choose to receive alerts for new data only, new and updated data, or complete extraction results.Beyond notifications, we offer several integration options: * API Access for programmatic data access * Zapier Integration connecting to 5,000+ applications * Webhook Support for custom workflows and integrations Our [integration guides](/docs/integrations) provide detailed documentation and examples for all integration methods.
What makes Lightfeed different from traditional web scrapers?
Lightfeed fundamentally differs from traditional scrapers in three key ways: * No code required. Use natural language to describe what you need instead of writing CSS selectors or XPaths. * Adapts to website changes. Our LLM-based approach focuses on content meaning rather than page structure, so extractions remain reliable even when websites update their layouts. * Fully managed database. Beyond just extracting data, we maintain it in a structured database with automatic deduplication and change tracking.
