Extractor by Lightfeed is a TypeScript library that uses LLMs to extract structured data from websites. It handles messy HTML, JavaScript-rendered content, and inconsistent page layouts that break traditional scrapers. Define your schema and let the LLM figure out where the data lives.

Reviewer scorecard
“Schema-driven extraction with LLM fallback is exactly right. Traditional scrapers break on every site redesign — Extractor adapts because it understands the content semantically. The TypeScript-first approach with strong typing on outputs is chef's kiss for building data pipelines.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“LLM extraction costs add up fast at scale. But for the use cases where you need it — scraping sites with unpredictable layouts, extracting from pages that change frequently — the reliability improvement over CSS selectors easily justifies the token spend.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“I have been using this to pull structured data from competitor landing pages and product directories. The schema definition is intuitive and the extraction quality is surprisingly consistent even across wildly different page designs.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
