What is Content extraction?
Verified 5 August 2026
A tiered pipeline is the practical approach: a fast structural reader for ordinary HTML, a model-based fallback for pages it cannot parse, and a headless browser for pages that only render under JavaScript. Each tier costs more than the last, so ordering them by cost matters.
Doing extraction in-house avoids a per-page API bill that, at web scale, dominates every other cost in the pipeline.
