Show HN: LucidExtractor – Extract web data in plain English, no selectors

Based, LucidExtractor – Extract web data in plain English, no selectors works in show hn launch.

Profile

I built a web scraping tool where you describe the data you want in plain English instead of writing CSS selectors or XPath.The problem: Traditional scrapers break when websites change their HTML structure. You spend more time maintaining selectors than actually using the data.How it works: Send a URL + an AI prompt like "extract all product names and prices as JSON" and the AI reads the page like a human, returning structured data.Tech stack: FastAPI backend, Gemini 2.5 Flash for extraction, Playwright for rendering, deployed on Google Cloud Run.Free tier: 500 credits, no credit card required. Would love feedback from HN on the approach and pricing.

LucidExtractor – Extract web data in plain English, no selectors is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
