What is Lightfeed?

Organizations across industries depend on web data to stay competitive - whether it is driving decision-making, competitive intelligence or AI applications. However, getting structured, up-to-date, and reliable data from websites presents significant challenges.

The Web Data Challenge​

  • Manual Scraping and Maintenance: Traditional scrapers require custom code for each website and break when layouts change - forcing teams to constantly rewrite and fix code instead of focusing on business goals.

  • Limited Extraction Depth: Most tools only extract data from specified URLs, missing critical information buried in subpages and linked content.

  • No Integrated Database: Most scrapers don't provide a persistent database — forcing slow, repeated website crawling for each data request instead of fast queries, and making it impossible to track changes, search historic data, or quickly find relevant information.

  • Data Quality Issues: Raw extracted data requires significant post-processing to clean, normalize, and deduplicate - creating additional engineering complexity and introducing potential errors.

  • Anti-Scraping Measures: Modern websites implement various protection mechanisms - including CAPTCHAs, request throttling, and automated bot detection - making reliable data collection increasingly challenging.

The Lightfeed Solution​

Lightfeed transforms how organizations extract and maintain clean, structured and up-to-date web data at scale. Our platform leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents that can read, understand and interact with website content, making data extraction reliable and fully automated.

Key Benefits​

  • Adaptive AI Extraction: Extract data from any website using simple natural language instructions without writing code. Automatically adapt to website changes.

  • Deep Content Discovery and Enrichment: Automatically extract data from linked pages and subpages, while enriching information from multiple sources and third-party websites to create comprehensive datasets.

  • Fast Database Access: Access consistently up-to-date structured data through instant queries instead of slow crawling, with built-in AI search capabilities to track changes and find the most relevant information.

  • Automated Data Processing: Get clean, normalized data with automatic deduplication and formatting.

  • Reliable Scraping: Extract data consistently even from protected websites—solving CAPTCHAs automatically and using premium proxies to bypass anti-bot measures.
