AI is starting to change the economics of building scrapers. A scraper that used to take a few hours of manual selector work, browser debugging, schema cleanup, retries, and maintenance can now often be scaffolded in minutes.
The part I'm interested in is the real cost, not the demo cost.
We're launching AI Scraper Builder by ScrapeOps on Product Hunt, and we'd love feedback from developers, data teams, AI builders, and anyone who has dealt with web scraping in production.
Most AI scraping tools focus on no-code extraction, browser plugins, or instant data output.
We're exploring a slightly different angle:
What if AI generated real scraper code that developers could inspect, edit, and run in their own stack?
