Problem
Extracting and structuring data from the web is a time-consuming and technically challenging process, often requiring expertise in CSS selectors and web scraping techniques. Existing methods lack efficiency and ease of use, hindering developers and businesses from readily accessing and utilizing valuable online information.
Solution
LSD provides a platform that transforms unstructured web content into a structured database accessible via a SQL-compatible API. The platform allows users to programmatically navigate, operate, scrape, group, crawl, and map websites. LSD offers a no-code tool called Bicycle, which allows users to visually select data on a webpage, automatically generating reusable LSD queries. This enables users to extract live web data without needing to write code or understand CSS selectors.
