Smart Web Scraper

Heavstal Smart Scraper is an intelligent extraction engine designed to turn websites into structured data. It supports batch processing (up to 10 URLs) and features an AI Analysis Mode that reads, structures, and categorizes content automatically.

It handles the heavy lifting: resolving relative links, cleaning DOM noise (ads, scripts), and formatting text for machine reading.

Endpoint

POST /web-search

Features

• Clean Extraction: Removes navbars, footers, and scripts to focus on the main content.
• AI Summarization: Optional GPT-4 analysis to extract key points and sentiment.
• Batch Processing: Scrape up to 10 websites in parallel in a single request.
• SSRF Protection: Built-in security against internal network scanning.

Known Limitations

This endpoint uses a stable, standard browser signature. It does not employ aggressive evasion techniques (like residential proxies or CAPTCHA solving).

It will NOT work on:

• Google / YouTube / Facebook / Instagram / LinkedIn / Twitter (X)
• Sites behind aggressive Cloudflare “Under Attack” mode
• Single Page Apps (SPAs) that require Javascript execution to render initial content

Request Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Description
url	string OR array	Yes	A single URL string OR an array of strings (e.g., ["url1", "url2"]).
summarize	boolean	No	Set to true to enable AI analysis. (Default: false)

Example 1: Single URL (Raw Text)

Best for simply getting the text content of a blog post or article.

const res = await fetch('https://heavstal.com.ng/api/v1/web-search', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_KEY' },
body: JSON.stringify({
  url: 'https://example.com/blog-post'
})
});

Example 2: Batch Scraping with AI

Scrape multiple pages and get structured reports for each. Ideal for market research or news aggregation.

const res = await fetch('https://heavstal.com.ng/api/v1/web-search', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_KEY' },
body: JSON.stringify({
  url: [
    'https://techcrunch.com/article-1',
    'https://verge.com/article-2'
  ],
  summarize: true
})
});
