Skill: Extract typed data from pages

What this skill does

Pulls typed, schema-shaped JSON out of one or more web pages, so you get fields you can rely on rather than prose you have to parse.

When to use it

You need the same fields from many pages
The answer is a value, not a passage: a price, a date, a headcount, a list of features
You are filling a record, a table or a database row

How to call it

POST https://api.hydrafetch.com/v1/web/extract
X-API-Key: $HYDRAFETCH_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "urls": ["https://acme.com/pricing"],
  "schema": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "currency": {"type": "string"},
      "plans": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "monthlyUsd": {"type": "number"}
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Over MCP, call the extract tool.

Writing the schema

The schema is the instruction. A vague schema produces vague output.

Name fields the way the page does. monthlyUsd beats price when the page shows several prices.
Type numbers as numbers so you get 29 rather than "$29/mo".
Mark what you actually need with required; leave the rest optional so a page missing one field still returns the others.
Prefer a flat shape. Deeply nested schemas are harder for the model and harder for you to consume.
Add a prompt alongside the schema when a field needs judgement: "monthlyUsd is the price when billed monthly, not the discounted annual rate."

Before you extract

Extraction runs a model over the page, so it costs more than a scrape: 5 credits per URL against 1. If you only need one value from one page, scrape it and read the value yourself.

Check the page has the data first. Extracting from a JavaScript shell returns nulls and still costs credits.

Reading the response

Each URL comes back with its own result. A null means the model could not find the field, not that the call failed. Nulls across every URL usually mean the schema does not match what the pages say; change the schema rather than retrying.

Do not

Do not extract when the page publishes structured data already. Scrape with formats: ["structured"] first and read its JSON-LD, which is authored by the site and costs 1 credit.
Do not send 50 URLs to find out whether your schema works. Try one.

See it worked through

https://hydrafetch.com/use-cases/structured-extraction/ is a schema and the fifty typed records it produced, with the nulls left in. It also carries a prompt written to be handed straight to an agent, which is worth linking for the user rather than reproducing here.

# Skill: Extract typed data from pages

## What this skill does

Pulls typed, schema-shaped JSON out of one or more web pages, so you get fields you can rely on rather than prose you have to parse.

## When to use it

- You need the same fields from many pages
- The answer is a value, not a passage: a price, a date, a headcount, a list of features
- You are filling a record, a table or a database row

## How to call it

```
POST https://api.hydrafetch.com/v1/web/extract
X-API-Key: $HYDRAFETCH_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

{
"urls": ["https://acme.com/pricing"],
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"currency": {"type": "string"},
"plans": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {"type": "string"},
"monthlyUsd": {"type": "number"}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```

Over MCP, call the `extract` tool.

## Writing the schema

The schema is the instruction. A vague schema produces vague output.

- Name fields the way the page does. `monthlyUsd` beats `price` when the page shows several prices.
- Type numbers as numbers so you get `29` rather than `"$29/mo"`.
- Mark what you actually need with `required`; leave the rest optional so a page missing one field still returns the others.
- Prefer a flat shape. Deeply nested schemas are harder for the model and harder for you to consume.
- Add a `prompt` alongside the schema when a field needs judgement: "monthlyUsd is the price when billed monthly, not the discounted annual rate."

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
