Building Universal Scrapers: Runtime-Generated Logic Replaces Per-Site Code

Web scraping has always required custom code for each site, but pluckmd demonstrates that a unified, data-driven specification can work across all websites. By combining heuristics, LLM inference, caching, and validation against live DOM, the system automatically generates reliable extractors while eliminating per-site code—fundamentally shifting from code-first to data-first extraction and enabling scalable, maintainable web scraping.
