Overview
Thunderbit is an AI-powered web scraping Chrome extension and web app (with Edge extension, web app, Web Scraper API, CLI and MCP Server) that turns any webpage into structured data in about 2 clicks — no CSS selectors or complex automation. You describe the data you want (or just click "Run Now") and AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek) read the page like a human, auto-detect fields, and export clean tables to Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable or Notion. Trusted by 200,000+ users worldwide and voted Product of the Week and Product of the Month on Product Hunt (Sept 2024). Built for sales, GTM and e-commerce teams doing lead generation, price tracking, competitor monitoring and market research.
Key Features
- AI Data Extractor (1-click): opens a page, clicks "Run Now", and the AI agent handles extraction — auto-suggests columns and structures output; supports custom plain-language scraping tasks.
- 50+ 1-click templates: Amazon, eBay, Shopify, AliExpress, TikTok, Zillow, Apollo, Google Maps and more; the extension auto-recognizes the URL you're on and suggests a matching scraper.
- Subpage scraping & data enrichment: AI visits linked subpages and enriches your table with extra details (product specs, company profiles, reviews).
- Pagination & infinite scroll automation: crawls thousands of pages automatically — no manual clicking or scripts.
- Scheduled scraper & web monitor: automated scraping on a schedule to track pricing, inventory and site changes (e-commerce competitor monitoring).
- PDF to Table & image OCR: converts PDFs into structured tables and extracts text from images.
- Free-forever extractors: Email Extractor (including from Google search results), Phone Number Extractor and Image Downloader are always free.
- Screen capture scraping: upload screenshots/files for sites that are hard to crawl; scrapes visible and hidden data, URLs, images, emails, phone numbers, dates and more.
- One-step formatting: AI normalizes data while scraping — split names, standardize phone formats, customize dates — export-ready output.
- No server storage: your scraped data stays yours; content isn't stored on Thunderbit servers.
- Web Scraper API: embed AI scraping into your own apps/workflows (JS rendering and anti-bot bypass included at no extra fee).

FAQ
Is there a free plan?
Yes — a free-forever tier with limited monthly pages, free data export, and the Email/Phone/Image extractors always free. A free trial for premium features is available.
Do I need to know CSS or scraping?
No. Specify column names/types or just click "Run Now"; AI detects and structures the data automatically.
What is a credit?
A credit is the unit of AI extraction usage (monthly allowance per plan). Distill (plain scrape) costs 1 unit/page; Extract (AI-structured extraction) costs 20 units/page via the API.
What can I scrape and where can I export?
Any website, including login-gated pages, plus PDFs and images. Export to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, Airtable and Notion, or copy-paste elsewhere.
Is my scraped data stored on Thunderbit's servers?
No — your data stays yours; Thunderbit does not store your scraped content on its servers.
