{"id":77241,"title":"Parsagon - Scrape sites with just their URLs","tagline":"Give a list of URLs, get back a set of scrapers!","body":"**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!**\n\n**The Problem:**\n\nParsagon'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:\n\n\u003e **_Go to _**[**_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities_**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities)**_. Scrape data in the format \\[{\"city\": \"str\", \"link\": \"link\", \"population\": \"num\"}\\]_**\n\nThis 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.\n\n**The Solution:**\n\nNow 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:\n\n* generate scrapers that monitor hundreds of state/local government websites for events and announcements related to economic policy\n* generate scrapers for thousands of company websites to get details on private companies’ financials and investors\n* scrape laws from government websites across the EU to create an AI legal assistant\n\n**The Ask:**\n\nIf you want to try out the service, email us at [**founders@parsagon.io**](mailto:founders@parsagon.io)!","slug":"K5p-parsagon-scrape-sites-with-just-their-urls","created_at":"2024-01-08T21:15:26.083Z","updated_at":"2026-05-23T14:19:26.953Z","total_vote_count":13,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/K5p-parsagon-scrape-sites-with-just-their-urls","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":22832,"name":"Parsagon","slug":"parsagon","url":"https://parsagon.io","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d7aefca6f08e98bcb987bd108cb1bbe99254dd91.png","batch":"Winter 2021","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Monitoring","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/22832"}}
