AgentQL
AgentQL is a query language and developer toolkit for web scraping that uses AI to identify web elements through natural language descriptions. It eliminates the need for fragile XPath or DOM selectors that break when websites update. The tool provides SDKs for Python and Node.js, offering semantic selectors that return data in the exact shape you specify. AgentQL ensures consistent results across all websites regardless of UI changes, making it ideal for data extraction, web automation, and testing.

Natural Language Queries
Use plain English to describe the data you want to extract, making scraping intuitive and reducing development time.
Pagination Handling
Built-in tools to handle different pagination types including infinite scrolling and numbered pagination.
Bot Detection Avoidance
Built-in features for enabling proxies, rotating browser headers, and "stealth mode" to prevent being blocked by websites.
Debugging Tools
Chrome extension and query debugger help optimize and test queries before implementation in production code.
Screenshot Validation
