Dashblock turns websites into APIs thanks to machine learning. Go to a page, right-click on the data you want and save your custom API. That's it, you can now query this API with similar URLs to automatically receive the structured data!
This is the 2nd launch from Dashblock. View more

Hi everyone, We are excited to launch a brand new version of Dashblock that allows you to build web automations without coding and run them from an API. You can collect data and perform actions on any website, even when authentication is needed. Some use-cases you can easily solve : - Collect data in real-time - Monitor your competition - Fill forms and book appointments - Automatically checkout products - Download invoices or reports - Generate leads automatically - Test your website We also provide third-party integrations (Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets...) to plug your automation with existing APIs. Behind the scenes, we use a proprietary ML model that can identify elements on web pages and make your automation resilient to html updates. You don't need to use CSS Selectors or XPath again !

Love the product, can't wait to have a go at it! Quick question: Can the API be used to create automation "flows" programmatically or is it just used to run them? ?makers Cheers <3

@theo_champion Hey Théo, glad you love the product. We do not provide a way to edit workflows programatically yet but it is a very interesting idea. Do you have a specific use-case in mind ?
BoD
If the product could be used on itself to do this, that would be a good proof that it's powerful enough :P

@bodlulu Indeed, drag-and-drops are not supported at the moment 🙂

Awesome improvement guys! I see lots of use cases for Growth Hackers! Maybe you should communicate a bit more on that aspect? Regardless kudos.

Interesting. Is the mini window on the top right streamed or is the url loaded on an iframe? . asking because not all websites allow embedding within an iframe.

@vghanand Yep. Website is streamed and you can still interact with the page to select elements or input data
