Website Scrape
Scrape a website contents, URLs and meta data.
Scraping
Website scraping is the process of retrieving content from a webpage so it can be processed programmatically. It is commonly used for research, content extraction, competitor analysis, data collection, monitoring, and providing website information to AI models.
In Fetch Hive, Website Scrape allows a workflow to retrieve and extract content from a webpage URL. The resulting website content can then be passed into AI models, agents, extraction steps, or other tools for further processing.
Use Cases
Website content analysis
Scrape a webpage and pass its content into an AI model for summarisation, classification, extraction, comparison, or other analysis.
Competitor research
Collect information from competitor websites and process it as part of a broader research workflow. This can be useful for analysing positioning, product information, features, messaging, or other publicly available content.
Research and data collection
Use webpage content as an input to automated research workflows. Scraped information can be combined with search results, files, APIs, databases, and other sources before producing a final analysis or report.
Why use Website Scrape with Fetch Hive?
Website Scrape turns webpage content into an input that other Fetch Hive steps can work with. Instead of manually copying text from websites into prompts, a workflow can retrieve the page and automatically send its contents into the next stage of the process.
This also makes website research repeatable. Fetch Hive records the workflow trace, allowing you to see which pages were processed, how their contents were used, where failures happened, and how much the overall workflow cost.
