Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) helps computers think and learn like humans by finding patterns in data. AI can automate tasks, make predictions, and solve problems across many industries. From chatbots that answer questions to AI agents that help to eliminate those time-consuming tasks – the key to successful AI is having good data to train it, enough computing power to run it, and careful planning to make sure it meets your business standards.

Price Scraping

Price Scraping: How To Build a Scraper, Test It, and Scale With Confidence

Price data is important for monitoring competitors in eCommerce, enforcing MAP policies, and receiving deal alerts. Doing this manually isn't effective for scaling. A practical approach is price scraping, which helps automatically collect product pricing data from eCommerce websites. This guide will show you how to build a Python scraper using Playwright. It will help you gather real prices, deal with anti-bot measures, and create structured JSON data.

How To Set Up PewDiePie's Odysseus AI Workspace

Odysseus is a free, open-source, self-hosted AI workspace from Felix Kjellberg, aka PewDiePie. Yes, the guy who spent a decade telling 100 million people to smash subscribe now wants you to smash docker compose up. It bundles chat, autonomous agents, deep research, and email into one interface that runs on your hardware, not someone else's cloud. It launched in late May 2026 and hit 30,000+ GitHub stars in just 3 days, signaling real demand for AI you own, not rent. Here's what it does, how to use it, and where proxies fit in.
Open WebUI tools

Open WebUI tools: how to give your local LLM real-time internet access with a scraping API

Local LLMs are powerful, but their knowledge ends at the training cutoff. Without internet access, a model running on your own hardware can’t check current prices, read recent news, or retrieve updated documentation. Open WebUI’s Tools system solves this by letting models call custom Python functions during a conversation. In this tutorial, you’ll connect the Decodo Web Scraping API to a custom Open WebUI tool, so your model can fetch live web content on demand.
Web Scraping in Dify

Web Scraping in Dify: A No-Code Guide

Dify is an open-source platform for building LLM apps and AI workflows visually. It gives teams a drag-and-drop canvas for chaining LLMs, tools, and APIs into complete AI workflows. Modern AI apps need fresh, structured web data, but most teams don't want to write and maintain Python scrapers. In this article, you'll learn how to build a no‑code Dify workflow and switch to a managed Web Scraping API when basic plugins aren't enough.
Cursor AI

Using Cursor AI To Build a Web Scraper: From Setup to Production With Decodo

Cursor AI is a code-aware IDE that generates, debugs, and refines scraper code through natural language, advancing AI-assisted scraping from concept to production. Building scrapers by hand means dealing with selector breakage, anti-bot walls, and proxy rotation logic that compounds every time a target site changes. This article covers setup, Cursor rules, scraper types, Decodo MCP integration, and project maintenance.
The End of “Free” Public Data?

The End of "Free" Public Data? How AI Is Challenging the Industry

Cloudflare customers now send more than one billion HTTP 402 "Payment Required" responses on an average day. That figure, mentioned in passing in a recent Cloudflare blog post, signals a real shift. A 20-year convention around free public data is being repriced through pay-per-crawl and AI bot management. And businesses that depend on fresh public data now need to figure out how to react and how to do it fast.

AutoGPT Integration Guide: Set Up, Customize, and Connect Your AI Agents to External Data

Most AutoGPT tutorials stop at "get it running", but that's the easy part. The harder part that determines whether your agents are useful is connecting them to live data, and AutoGPT helps you fix that. This guide covers AutoGPT local setup, UI navigation, custom Python block development, and the integration patterns that turn AutoGPT into a production workflow tool.

Browser-use: Step-by-Step AI Browser Automation Guide

Browser-use is a Python library that lets an AI agent control a real browser – navigating dynamic pages, submitting forms, and extracting structured data without brittle selectors. Unlike traditional headless browser setups wired to rigid rules, it reasons with what it sees and adapts. By the end of this guide, you'll have a working agent scraping product data, interacting with web apps, and handling failure scenarios.

Crawl4AI Tutorial: Build Powerful AI Web Scrapers

Traditional scrapers return raw HTML. Turning that raw data into structured AI-ready data takes 50%+ extra engineering time, and pushing it directly into an LLM quickly becomes expensive at scale. Crawl4AI was built for that gap: Playwright rendering, automatic Markdown conversion, and native LLM extraction in one open-source framework. This guide takes you from a basic page crawl to production-ready structured data extraction.

How to Scrape Google AI Mode: Methods, Tools, and Best Practices

Google AI Mode was launched as a Search Labs experiment in March 2025. It's powered by Gemini 2.5, which synthesizes answers from multiple sources and allows you to ask follow-up questions. Google AI Mode isn't the same as Google search results; it's an entirely full-page conversational interface using different URL parameters, rendering pipelines, and scraping logic. This guide provides a walkthrough of two different approaches: a working Playwright script you can execute right away, and the Decodo Web Scraping API for production.

Scraping Multimedia Data for AI Training: Images, Video, Audio

Images, video, and audio are harder to collect and clean than text, and much less useful without context. Multimedia scraping helps you collect media, preserve the metadata that gives it meaning, and turn scattered files into training-ready datasets. The hard part is treating each media type differently from the start.
