Why people love it

Prompt-based extraction

Describe the data you want in plain language; the LLM builds the extraction for you.

SmartScraperGraph pipeline

The flagship graph scrapes a page and returns structured output from a single prompt and URL.

Multiple graph types

Additional pipelines cover searching, multi-page scraping and other extraction patterns documented in the docs.

Provider choice

Works with different LLM providers and models through a simple config object.

RAG-friendly output

Extracted, structured content drops neatly into RAG and data pipelines.

Managed API option

A hosted ScrapeGraph API and SDKs exist if you outgrow local runs (the open-source library remains MIT).

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

  2. Install the package

    Install ScrapeGraphAI from PyPI.

    pip install scrapegraphai
  3. Run your first scrape

    Create a SmartScraperGraph with your model config, a prompt and a URL, then call run() as in the README usage example.

    # graph = SmartScraperGraph(prompt='Extract the product names and prices', source='https://example.com', config=graph_config)
    # result = graph.run()  # see README Usage for the full snippet

Questions, answered

Who maintains Scrapegraph-ai?

Scrapegraph-ai is maintained by the ScrapeGraphAI organization/account on GitHub, together with open-source contributors, in the public repository ScrapeGraphAI/Scrapegraph-ai.

Is Scrapegraph-ai free to use?

Yes — the code is open source under the MIT license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.

Does Scrapegraph-ai need a paid API key?

The library is free, but extraction is LLM-driven — you need your own LLM API key (or a local model), and you pay that provider's token costs.

How does Scrapegraph-ai compare to BeautifulSoup / Scrapy?

Classic scrapers are free per run but break when layouts change; ScrapeGraphAI trades a small LLM cost per page for prompts that survive redesigns.

How do I get started with Scrapegraph-ai?

Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
