StructAPI

Turn any website into structured JSON. Send a URL + CSS selectors. Get clean data back. No scraping, no parsing, no HTML to wade through.

curl -X POST http://bore.pub:18161/extract \
  -H "X-API-Key: $STRUCTAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com",
    "fields": [
      {"name": "title", "selector": ".titleline a"},
      {"name": "score", "selector": ".score", "multiple": true}
    ]
  }'

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "title": "Show HN: StructAPI",
    "score": ["127", "89", "342"]
  }
}

How It Works

1. Define your fields — name and CSS selector per field
2. POST to /extract — we fetch the page and run your selectors
3. Get JSON back — no HTML, no parsing, just data

Or skip selectors with /auto — auto-detect title, headings, links, images, and paragraphs from any URL.
