Beyond APIs - How AI-Powered Custom Data Extraction Unlocks Amazon, Walmart & eBay Data

Unlike APIs, which only provide the data that marketplaces choose to share, custom e-commerce scrapers dynamically collect product details directly from website pages. Modern AI-powered scrapers significantly improve upon outdated methods that often fail due to website updates, ensuring a continuous data flow without the need for constant manual intervention.

Modern AI-powered systems can:

• Parse unstructured website content in real time.

• Adapt automatically when website layouts or anti-bot defenses change.

• Normalize diverse product information into highly structured e-commerce datasets.

• Apply Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze reviews and customer sentiment.

The main advantage is the reliability and scalability of the data: automated extractors, free from API limitations, can capture the entire competitive landscape, including intricate price shifts and promotional patterns, while ensuring accuracy and deliverability.
