Extractor

An extractor is a single Import.io web crawler with its own configuration. It defines what data to collect (a set of selectors) and how to collect it using a tailored schema and rules that produce consistent structured output.

Why it matters

• Ensures accuracy and repeatability
• Supports automation at scale
• Reduces the need for manual configuration

How it is used

• Important part of data collection workflows
• Extracting data from category and product pages at scale
• Building scalable pipelines
