Overview

Extract retrieves and parses content from any URL, giving you clean structured data instead of raw HTML. Point it at a webpage, specify what you want, and get back exactly the information you need. Think of it as a smart web reader that understands page structure and extracts precisely what you ask for.
  • For most users, we recommend starting with Web Search Agents - pre-built extractors maintained by Nimble for popular sites.
  • Need a site that’s not in the gallery?Create a custom agent in minutes using natural language - no coding required.
