Core Architecture

Graph-Based Scraping

ScrapeGraphAI treats websites as directed graphs where:

• Nodes: Represent web pages, elements, or data points
• Edges: Represent links, relationships, or navigation paths
• Graph Analysis: AI algorithms analyze the graph structure to understand data relationships
• Path Optimization: Finds optimal paths to extract target data

AI-Powered Data Extraction
