static416··on Show HN: Xtrct.io – Automatic product data extraction
We originally attempted to build something that works on any type of information on any page, but that was a little too broad to be shippable in a reasonable time.

So the current version will work on anything that looks like a traditional product page. Prices, variants, primary photos, comments/reviews (some of the time), etc.

Other pages may also produce results, but it's really tailored to product-like pages at the moment.

It runs a full Chrome browser, so if you can see it in Chrome, it'll be extractable by the engine. It renders JS, and dismisses any JS popups or modals so they don't contaminate the data.

If you give it a try and it doesn't produce the results you're hoping for, definitely let me know and I'll try to add your examples to the next batch of training data. Once a site is added to the training data the accuracy is very high.

But please give it a try and let me know what you think! eric@xtrct.io

Just launched, still some improvement needed in the ML components, but works pretty well.

Want to gather some input so I know what kind of training data to add to the ML components, and if it's missing any features people are interested in.

Any feedback, advice, thoughts, would be great.
