Browser-native web scraper and automation compiler Detailed Description Say you just did a search on a website. You see a page full of data, search results, listing after listing, more than you'd ever want to copy by hand. One click on the Array button, and every repeating row on the page lights up at once, boxed and numbered. Right-click the first one. Up pops every field inside it, each showing the real value it pulled straight off the page, not a placeholder. Check the fields you want. Now the whole list is on your clipboard; every row on the page with a semantically correct header for every column, just what you wanted. Paste it into a spreadsheet. Done. Free. webSlinger as a Scraper (Free tier) Scrape data from any website for free — no code — get just what you want Job search results, order cards, book rankings, stock prices, houses for sale, product info and prices, bank transactions, food you can order... it's all only a few clicks away. Extract to the clipboard or download as CSV or JSON. Get only the fields you want, labeled semantically, in the format you want, and get it now. webSlinger's ARRAY extraction detects repeating structures in any form and visually marks each instance on the screen. Detection is information-theoretic: an MDL (minimum description length) algorithm decides which instances and which fields belong to the array — unique to webSlinger, and why it finds the right rows and the right columns on messy real-world pages. Right-click on any instance of the array you want to extract, choose Smart Select or specify the fields you want manually, and webSlinger extracts the data and shows you what it got. EXTRACT data from any element on the screen with webSlinger's data extractor. Even attributes you can't see. webSlinger learns the API the website uses to retrieve data and can fetch it for you directly, including data never displayed as text (such as coordinates on a map). webSlinger as an Automation Tool (paid tiers) You teach a person how to do a task by showing them. Think of webSlinger the same way. You demonstrate an example or two, then ask it to finish the rest of the work on its own. And to make sure it understands what to do, you have it copy you in another tab. You get instant validation that it can navigate, fill forms and extract data by watching it copy you. That's webSlinger - web automation that learns from demonstration, validates in real-time, and handles everything from simple data extraction to complex multi-site workflows requiring authentication. Real-Time Validation: Watch It Learn As you click, type, and navigate in the main tab, webSlinger simultaneously replicates your actions in a validation tab - like a student following along. Every action you take is: Instantly copied in the validation tab Tested with multiple selector strategies simultaneously Validated to find selectors that successfully locate the target element Recorded with all working selectors for robust automation Validation happens as fast as you can navigate, input or extract - we won't slow you down. By the time you finish demonstrating, you have a validated session map with proven selectors ready for automation. Anything you can scrape, you can automate. AI Script Generation: From Actions to Selectors Here's the challenge AI alone can't solve: Large language models can tell you every step needed to accomplish a task on the web, but they can't translate "click on Location Sharing" into the CSS selectors or XPath expressions that actually make it happen. That's the language barrier between knowing what to do and how to do it. webSlinger bridges this gap. Your session map captures the translation from desired actions to working selectors. When you demonstrate extracting data from two or three products, the AI generates scripts that: Process entire product catalogs across multiple pages Navigate through paginated results automatically Extract structured data into organized arrays Handle variations in page layouts Know when to stop (end of list detection) The session map provides the selector vocabulary, and the AI provides the workflow intelligence. Three-Tab Recording Architecture webSlinger's unique architecture uses three independent browser tabs during recording: Main tab: Where you interact naturally with target websites Validation tab: Programmatically copies every action to prove selectors work in real-time Copy tab: Tests which page states can be reached by direct URL navigation vs. requiring action sequences This approach creates comprehensive session maps with validated actions, anchor states, and action chains; all the information the AI needs to generate an automation script to achieve the task. Dual-Tab Script Execution for Complex Workflows Generated scripts can coordinate actions across two browser tabs simultaneously, enabling workflows impossible with single-tab automation: Multi-factor authentication: Initiate login in Tab A, switch to Tab B to retrieve email verification codes, return to Tab A to complete authentication Cross-site data workflows: Extract data from one website, automatically populate forms on another Comparison workflows: Navigate different sites in parallel, extract and compare data side-by-side The dual-tab architecture transforms webSlinger from single-site automation into multi-site workflow orchestration. Secure Credential Management (Zero-Knowledge Architecture) Never share passwords with automation services. The companion keyCocoon extension handles all credential entry through your local keyBunker vault: Passwords encrypted on your device with AES-256 Multi-factor authentication (TOTP codes) generated locally using RFC 6238 Master password authentication with configurable session duration Zero-knowledge design - webSlinger never sees or transmits credentials Email-based MFA automated through dual-tab workflows Automate banking, healthcare, corporate systems, and any site where credential sharing violates security policies or regulatory requirements. Your credentials never leave your device. Automated Task Scheduling The taskSpinner native application enables time-based automation execution: Schedule scripts to run at specific times (daily, weekly, custom intervals) Launch browser automation without manual intervention Write execution reports and extracted data to custom folders Manage complete task schedules (create, update, delete, list) Run automation while you sleep or focus on other work Perfect for monitoring tasks, recurring data extraction, nightly report generation, or any workflow requiring regular execution. Key Capabilities ✓ Record workflows by demonstrating them naturally - show, don't code ✓ Extract structured data from any website - tables, listings, forms, individual fields ✓ Scrape data straight to your clipboard - no recording or paid plan required ✓ Capture data from a page's background APIs, even when it never appears as text ✓ Automate form filling across single or multiple sites ✓ Handle authentication including passwords and multi-factor authentication ✓ Schedule unattended execution for recurring tasks ✓ Coordinate multi-site workflows with dual-tab script execution ✓ Generalize from examples - demonstrate with 2-3 instances, automate entire datasets ✓ Execute locally in your browser using your authentic browser fingerprint Perfect For Personal Use: Download bank transactions for personal finance tracking Monitor product availability and pricing changes Extract invoice data for expense tracking Automate repetitive form submissions Track competitor products or content Business Use: Extract competitor pricing across multiple sites Populate multiple systems lacking API integration Monitor regulatory or compliance websites for updates Test web applications with realistic user workflows Aggregate data from vendor portals for procurement Developer Use: Automate browser testing with real user patterns Extract training data from websites at scale Create workflow automation libraries for your team Prototype web scrapers without writing selector code Privacy and Security First Scripts execute locally in your browser (not on external servers) Credentials never leave your device Session maps stored encrypted on our secure servers Data encrypted in transit with HTTPS/TLS No browsing tracking outside active recording sessions Compliant with privacy regulations See our comprehensive Privacy Policy at webslinger.ai/privacy.html How It Works Register at webslinger.ai to obtain your API key (free tier available) Install webSlinger and keyCocoon (optional, for password-protected sites) Launch a recording session from webslinger.ai with defined goals Demonstrate the workflow naturally while webSlinger watches and validates in a second tab Generate automation scripts with AI from your demonstrated examples Schedule or run scripts whenever needed - locally in your browser No programming required.
