How it works (end‑to‑end)
1) Configure your pipeline: targets (ASIN/SKU/keywords/ZIPs), cadence (real‑time, intraday, daily), geotargeting (country/state/city), and delivery destination. Online Pipelines. 2) Agents browse live pages: AI browsers execute JS, handle cookies, scroll/click, and capture both HTML and XHR payloads for reliability and depth. Web Scraping API. 3) Quality & compliance layer: schema normalization, deduplication, anomaly detection, and audit trails; CCPA/GDPR/SOC 2/HIPAA alignment. Trust. 4) Streamed activation: push governed tables to Snowflake/Databricks/S3/BigQuery, or serve via API for pricing engines, dashboards, or agents. Integrations.
