10 scraping parameters in the Minexa API that most developers overlook
Most developers get a Minexa.ai API pipeline running quickly. The default request body works for a large share of sites, and the Chrome extension generates ready-to-use Python code in minutes. But a handful of parameters sit quietly in the request schema and go unused, even when they would directly solve a problem the developer is already fighting with. Here are ten parameters worth knowing before you hit your first wall. 1. bypass: anti-bot handling that only activates on se

This article answers ten of those questions for the Minexa API, the programmatic interface to Minexa's deterministic DOM-based extraction engine. 1. Do I have to write CSS selectors or XPath to define what to extract? No. The Minexa API does not require

10 web data extraction mistakes that quietly kill your pipeline
Most data extraction pipelines do not fail dramatically. They degrade quietly, one bad row at a time, until someone notices the numbers look wrong. These ten mistakes are responsible for the majority of that silent damage. 1. Selecting individual fields instead of the parent container When training a scraper, the instinct is to click the exact field you want, like a price or a title. The problem is that individual fields shift position constantly as layouts change. The correc

Your data is right there on the page. So why is collecting it still this painful?
You can see the data. It is sitting right there on the page: prices, listings, contact details, job postings, product specs. But getting it out in a usable format means copying row by row, writing brittle selectors that break on the next deploy, or feeding pages into an LLM and hoping the output is consistent. None of these hold up past a few hundred pages. This is the actual problem with web data collection today. It is not that the data is hidden. It is that every path to e

How to extract clinical trials data from UCSD Clinical Trials using the Minexa API

How the Minexa API turns any webpage into structured data at scale
Most data extraction pipelines start the same way: someone needs structured data from a website, and the first instinct is to write a scraper. Then comes the selector logic, the edge cases, the JavaScript rendering layer, the proxy setup, and eventually a fragile script that breaks when the site updates. The Minexa API was built to replace that entire process with a single trained scraper and a POST request. This guide walks through exactly how that works, from training your
