Data Extraction

Unlocking structured intelligence from unstructured digital noise.

We go beyond simple crawling. Our extraction engines use deep DOM analysis to find the signal in the noise, delivering high-precision datasets from even the most chaotic websites.

Not every source is a tidy product page. Invoices as PDFs, tables buried in HTML, XML feeds with inconsistent schemas, pages that assemble themselves in the browser. Extraction is the work of getting one clean structure out of several messy ones.

You tell us the fields you need. We decide how to get them from each source and normalise everything into a single schema, so a record from a PDF looks the same as one from a web page.

What Data Extraction includes

Deep Content Parsing

Intelligent identification of product names, specs, and prices.

Multi-Format Support

Extract data from HTML, PDF, XML, and complex JavaScript objects.

Normalization

Converting mixed formats into a single, unified structure.

Meta-Data Enrichment

Automatically tagging extracted data with SEO and category context.

What you get

Every record carries these fields

The schema is yours to change — add fields, drop fields, rename them to match what your systems already read. This is the default.

FieldTypeWhat it is
record_idstringStable across runs, so updates can be matched.
source_urlstringWhere it came from, always included.
source_typeenumhtml | pdf | xml | json | docx.
titlestringThe record’s own heading, where one exists.
attributesobjectYour fields, normalised across every source type.
tablesarrayExtracted tables, kept as rows rather than flattened text.
confidencefloatLow values flag records worth a human look.
extracted_attimestampUTC, ISO 8601.
Sample output

One record, as it arrives

JSON — flattened to CSV or Excel on request.

Values here are illustrative. On a real sample these are your products, from your target sites — see below.

record.json
{"record_id": "rec_88213","source_url": "https://example.org/reports/2026/q3.pdf","source_type": "pdf","title": "Quarterly operating report, Q3 2026","confidence": 0.97,"extracted_at": "2026-10-15T08:02:19Z",}
Who buys it

What people use it for

Legal and compliance

Clauses and dates out of filings and contracts held as PDFs.

Logistics

Rates and schedules from carrier documents that arrive in five different shapes.

Healthcare and research

Structured fields out of published literature and public registries.

What it costs

Three ways to buy, and what moves the number

Fixed price

A defined one-off project with a known scope and a delivery date.

Retainer

Continuous collection, weekly or monthly. Selector fixes after a site changes are included.

Dedicated developer

A scraping engineer working inside your team, for roadmaps rather than deliverables.

What drives the quote for data extraction

  • How many source formats, which matters far more than record count.
  • How consistent each source is - a layout that changes monthly costs more than a large one that does not.
  • Whether low-confidence records need human review before delivery.
  • The output schema: one flat table is cheaper than a nested model.

Your options

Build it, buy a tool, or have it run

All three are reasonable. Which one fits depends on how much of this you want to own.

Build it in-house

One source is an afternoon. Five formats is a project: a PDF parser that copes with scanned pages, an HTML path that survives a redesign, an XML reader for a schema that varies by supplier, and a normalisation layer so all three produce the same record.

Buy a self-serve tool

Extraction tools handle the format they were built for. The difficulty is rarely one format - it is making a record from a PDF indistinguishable from one from a web page, which no single tool does for you.

Have it run for you

You define the fields once. We work out how to get them from each source and normalise everything into that one schema, with a confidence score so the records worth a human look are visible.

Honestly

What goes wrong, and what happens then

Collection breaks. The question worth asking a supplier is not whether it breaks but whether you find out from them or from your own data.

A supplier starts sending scanned PDFs instead of generated ones.

What it costs you

Text extraction returns nothing, and a pipeline that assumed text silently produces empty records.

What we do

Source type is detected per document rather than assumed. A scan routes to a different path and is flagged if the confidence drops.

A table spans a page break.

What it costs you

Half the rows arrive, the other half are read as a new table with the wrong headers - the worst outcome, because it looks like data.

What we do

Tables are reconstructed across page boundaries and checked against the header, not read page by page.

One field is present in 90% of sources and absent in the rest.

What it costs you

A null that means "not published" is indistinguishable from one that means "we failed to read it".

What we do

Those are different values in the output. Absent and unreadable are not the same record.

Before you ask

What we will not do, for this service

  • Extract from documents you are not entitled to hold or process.
  • Take personal or identity data out of documents, even where it is technically present.
  • Reconstruct content from a source that explicitly forbids automated processing.

    Exceed Expectation

    Build a strong long term relationship with a client by exceeding their expectations at every stage.

Questions people ask about data extraction

What formats can you deliver in?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or straight into a database. We can drop files to S3, SFTP or Google Drive, push to a webhook, or expose the data through a REST API. Tell us what your systems already read and we will match it.

What happens when a target site changes its layout?

It happens regularly, and it is part of what you are paying for. We monitor our scrapers, so in most cases we spot a break before you do. Fixing selectors after a layout change is included in retainer and dedicated developer arrangements. On fixed-price projects we agree a support window upfront.

Can I see a sample before committing?

Yes. Send us a target URL and the fields you want, and we will return a free sample so you can check the structure and quality before any money changes hands.

Who owns the data you collect for me?

You do. The datasets we produce for you are yours. We do not resell them and we do not reuse them for other clients.

How do you price the work?

Three ways: a fixed price for a defined project, a weekly or monthly retainer for ongoing collection, or a dedicated scraping developer working as part of your team. Which one fits depends on how often the data changes and how much of the work is ongoing rather than one-off.
