How Vision-Based Scraping Works
AI That Understands Visual Data Like Humans Do
The Technical Workflow:
- Configure target URLs in a simple Google Sheet template
- ScrapingBee captures high-quality screenshots of each page
- Gemini-1.5-Pro AI analyzes screenshots to identify product data
- Visual analysis extracts pricing, features, and specifications
- If needed, HTML is converted to Markdown as fallback
- Structured Output Parser formats data into clean JSON
- Results populate your Google Sheet for immediate analysis
Key Differentiator: The system works like a human analyst would - looking at the page visually rather than depending on the underlying code structure.
