AgentQL API

AgentQL is a query language and API for AI-powered web scraping and browser automation. Instead of CSS selectors or XPath, you describe what you want in natural language and AgentQL's AI maps it to the actual DOM — making scrapers resilient to site layout changes and ideal for agent-driven web interaction.

Best When

Your agent needs to interact with arbitrary websites using natural language descriptions of what to find, without maintaining brittle selectors.

Avoid When

You're doing high-volume scraping where cost matters, or you need sub-second scrape response times.

Use Cases

• Agents that need to extract structured data from any website without brittle CSS selectors
• Building web scrapers that survive site redesigns (AI re-maps queries to new layout)
• Form filling and interaction with complex web apps from agent code
• Replacing Playwright/Selenium selectors with natural language descriptions
• Data extraction pipelines that need to work across many different website layouts

Not For

• High-volume bulk scraping where cost per query matters (AI parsing adds cost)
• Sites with strict anti-bot measures (not a proxy/residential IP solution)
• Real-time scraping needing sub-100ms response

Known Gotchas

⚠ Natural language queries are non-deterministic — the same query may return slightly different elements on different runs
⚠ Anti-bot measures on target sites are separate from AgentQL's capabilities — needs browser/proxy layer
⚠ Requires a browser session (via Playwright or hosted browser) — not a raw HTTP API
⚠ AI mapping adds 500ms-2s latency vs direct selector queries
⚠ Rate limits not documented — production planning requires testing
⚠ Complex nested extractions can be unreliable
