Scrape — General-Purpose Web Scraping & Data Extraction

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Scrape websites, extract structured data, and automate browser interactions. Pick the best API for the task — or combine several for comprehensive extraction.

1. Scrapegraph — AI-Powered Scraping with Natural Language

Best for: Extracting data using plain English prompts, converting pages to markdown, crawling with AI extraction, and search-based scraping.

AI-powered extraction (describe what you want in natural language):

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
  "website_url": "https://example.com/products",
  "user_prompt": "Extract all product names, prices, descriptions, and image URLs"
}'

With output schema (enforce structure):

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
  "website_url": "https://example.com/products",
  "user_prompt": "Extract all products",
  "output_schema": {
    "properties": {
      "products": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "price": {"type": "number"},
            "description": {"type": "string"}
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'

Search + scrape (search the web and extract from results):

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/searchscraper","body":{"user_prompt":"Find the latest iPhone prices from major retailers"}}'
# Poll for results:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/searchscraper/{request_id}"}'

Tips

  • Simple page scrape: Start with Olostep for raw content or Scrapegraph SmartScraper for AI-extracted data
  • Natural language extraction: Scrapegraph is the go-to — describe what you want in English, optionally pass an output_schema
  • Structured/schema-based extraction: Riveter lets you define exact fields and formats for consistent output
  • Brand assets & logos: Brand.dev for logos, colors, fonts, design systems, and screenshots
  • Bot protection: Use Scrapegraph's stealth: true or Notte's proxies: true + solve_captchas: true
  • JavaScript-heavy SPAs: Use Scrapegraph's render_heavy_js: true or Notte browser sessions
  • Batch/bulk scraping: Olostep batches for processing many URLs at once with constant processing time
  • Async crawls: Olostep and Scrapegraph crawls are async — start with POST, poll for results
  • Page interactions: Use Scrapegraph steps for simple interactions before extraction, or Notte sessions for complex multi-step flows
  • Pagination: Scrapegraph's total_pages (up to 100) handles multi-page extraction automatically
  • Convert to markdown: Scrapegraph /v1/markdownify for clean markdown from any page
  • Combine APIs: For maximum data, use Scrapegraph for AI extraction + Riveter for structured validation + Olostep for raw content
