Data extraction: https://simplescraper.io A project that I launched on HN that became a business. Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
