You can extract web data into markdown for RAG pipelines by using AI-powered crawling to navigate websites and output clean, structured markdown formatted specifically for retrieval-augmented generation. It supports adaptive crawling to gather content efficiently.

The best way to scrape structured data from multiple URLs is using LLM-based schema extraction, which processes multiple URLs simultaneously and outputs structured JSON. This automates navigating sites and extracting key information without manual parsing rules.

Yes, you can use CSS selectors and XPath for web scraping alongside AI extraction techniques. The tool supports traditional CSS and XPath extraction methods as well as advanced LLM-based strategies to handle complex data structures.

AI-powered crawling handles dynamic website content by using adaptive crawling techniques that intelligently navigate websites and follow links. This ensures accurate data extraction even when content structures change or require interaction to load.

Supported output formats when extracting web content include clean markdown, raw HTML, and structured JSON. These formats allow direct integration into data analysis workflows or AI applications requiring structured information.

You do not strictly need an LLM to extract data from technical documentation, as CSS and XPath selectors are supported. However, LLM-based extraction provides advanced schema generation for complex or unstructured technical documents.
