extract-birdkit-tables

Birdkit table extraction detects CTableDouble and CTable components in SSR HTML using data-birdkit-hydrate attributes and hydration scripts. It captures headers, body rows, and sub-tables, producing typed data that follows the BirdkitTableExtraction schema for downstream interactive page recreation.

The extraction output follows the BirdkitTableExtraction schema, providing a consistent data shape that includes route identification, column definitions, and per-table row data. This structured format is specifically designed to be consumable by chart-data.ts and downstream interactive components.

Yes, Birdkit table extraction captures both static multi-table grids and interactive dropdown tables rendered as CTableDouble and CTable elements. It processes the SSR HTML to ensure all table variations are converted into typed row data suitable for downstream chart-data.ts integration.

No, Birdkit table extraction operates without any external dependencies. It directly processes the SSR HTML from NYT article pages where Birdkit tables appear, detecting hydration scripts and attributes to generate the typed BirdkitTableExtraction data in a self-contained manner.

The best way to automate NYT Birdkit table extraction is running a one-time extraction on the SSR HTML. The Skill detects all CTableDouble and CTable instances via hydration attributes, parsing their headers and rows to produce a unified, typed dataset for chart-data.ts.

Birdkit table extraction targets SSR HTML specifically, relying on static data-birdkit-hydrate attributes and hydration scripts present in the initial server response. If the HTML is rendered dynamically post-load without these SSR markers, the extraction mechanism will not detect the CTable structures.
