Show HN: Spidra – AI web scraper that adapts to any website

https://spidra.io
1•joelolawanle•1h ago
Hey HN,

We just launched a new landing page for Spidra (spidra.io) and I thought to share because we now have a sleek modern UI.

You may ask. What is Spidra? Well, it's an AI-powered web scraping platform, currently in public beta.

If you are conversant with using scraping packages or using other traditional scrapers, they break constantly. When a site redesigns, your selectors stop working.

Instead of CSS selectors, with Spidra you just describe what you want in plain English. For example, "Extract all product names and prices." The AI figures out where that data lives on the page and pulls it, even if the layout changes next week. We call it AI Mode.

What's included: - AI Scraper and AI Crawler (single pages or full domains) - Action sequences in plain English: click, scroll, type, wait. No selectors needed. - Built-in CAPTCHA solving, residential proxy rotation across 45+ locations, session and auth handling - REST API with async job polling so you can chain scrapes, loop results, build proper pipelines - Push results to JSON, CSV, Slack, Discord, Airtable, Google Sheets, or your own webhook

This is for developers building data pipelines or AI agents that need fresh web data. We also have a no-code playground for less technical users.

You can test Spidra on the free tier with 300 credits (no credit card needed).

I look forward to hearing what you think about our new landing page and the Spidra product. I am also happy to answer anything about how we handle anti-bot systems, the architecture, or how we compare to other tools in the space.
