Quickstart

Get Parser Run running in under 5 minutes.

1. Sign Up

Create an account at parser.run. No credit card required for the free tier.

2. Start a Conversation

Tell the agent what data you need in plain English:

"I want to track competitor prices for running shoes across Nike.com, Zappos, and Foot Locker"

The agent will ask clarifying questions if needed.

3. Review the Schema

The agent analyzes the target pages and proposes a schema:

Proposed Schema
{
  "product_name": "text",
  "price": "number",
  "brand": "text",
  "rating": "number",
  "review_count": "integer",
  "in_stock": "boolean",
  "url": "text"
}

Approve, modify, or request changes through conversation.

4. Watch It Run

Once approved, the agent:

  1. Creates a PostgreSQL database for your project
  2. Discovers all relevant product pages
  3. Extracts data according to your schema
  4. Stores results in your database

First data typically available in 15 minutes.

5. Query Your Data

Ask questions about your data in plain English:

"Which products dropped in price this week?"
"Show me Nike shoes under $100 with 4+ star ratings"
"What's the average price by brand?"

Or export to CSV, connect via SQL, or set up webhooks.

6. Set Up Monitoring

Configure automated refreshes and alerts:

  • Schedule: Daily, hourly, or real-time updates
  • Alerts: Email on price drops, stock changes, new listings
  • Reports: Weekly summaries delivered to your inbox
