getOgExtract
Extract targeted content from any URL by HTML tag or named CSS selectors, returning joined text or a structured data object for scraping specific page fields.
Instructions
Extract specific content from any URL via the OpenGraph.io API (v3). Two modes — choose based on what you need:
Mode 1 — Tag-based (html_elements): pass an array of HTML tag names, e.g. ['h1','h2','p','a']. The API collects all matching elements and joins their text into a single concatenatedText string. Best for bulk content extraction where you want all headings, paragraphs, or links as one block of text.
Mode 2 — Selector-based (selectors): pass a CSS selector map where each key is your chosen label and each value is a CSS selector, e.g. { "title": "article h1", "price": ".price-box .price", "sku": "#product-sku" }. The API returns a data object keyed by those labels — ideal for structured scraping of specific named fields.
Response shape by mode:
html_elementsonly →{ concatenatedText }selectorsonly →{ data, concatenatedText }Both provided →
{ data, concatenatedText }
For JS-heavy / SPA pages set full_render: true to guarantee JavaScript execution before extraction. Use wait_for_selector when content loads asynchronously.
Pick the right tool: getOgData → Open Graph tags, social preview metadata (title, description, image, favicon) getOgMarkdown → Clean readable text / article prose — ideal for feeding into an LLM getOgScrapeData → Raw HTML — use when you need to do your own parsing or link extraction getOgExtract → Targeted elements by tag (html_elements) or named CSS selectors (selectors) getOgScreenshot → Visual capture of a page as an image getOgQuery → Natural-language question answered from page content (100–200 credits/request)

| retry | No | Automatically retry failed requests. Defaults to true on v3. | |
| cache_ok | No | Use cached results. Set to false to bypass cache. Defaults to true. | |
| selectors | No | CSS selector map for structured extraction. Keys are output labels; values are CSS selectors. Example: { "article_title": "article h1", "price": ".price-box .price", "description": "#product-description p" }. When provided, returns a structured `data` object keyed by label instead of a raw element list. Can be combined with html_elements. | |
| use_proxy | No | Route the request through a standard proxy. | |
| auto_proxy | No | Automatically escalate to a proxy if the direct request fails. Defaults to true on v3. | |
| accept_lang | No | Accept-Language header for the outbound request. Defaults to 'auto'. | |
| ai_sanitize | No | Scan the fetched content for prompt-injection attempts. | |
| auto_render | No | Automatically detect and switch to headless rendering for SPA pages. Defaults to true on v3. | |
| full_render | No | Fully render the page with JavaScript before extracting. Useful for SPAs. | |
| max_retries | No | Maximum number of retry attempts (1–4). Defaults to 4. | |
| use_premium | No | Route the request through a premium proxy. | |
| use_superior | No | Route the request through a superior-tier proxy. | |
| html_elements | No | List of HTML tag names to extract (e.g. ['h1', 'h2', 'a', 'img', 'p']). Defaults to ['title','h1','h2','h3','h4','h5','p'] when neither html_elements nor selectors is provided. | |
| max_cache_age | No | Maximum cache age in milliseconds. Defaults to 432000000 (5 days). | |
| proxy_country | No | Two-letter ISO country code for geo-targeted proxy exit node. | |
| load_more_wait | No | Milliseconds to wait after each load_more click (0–5000). Defaults to 1500. | |
| retry_escalate | No | Escalate proxy tier on each retry attempt. Defaults to true. | |
| ai_sanitize_mode | No | 'sanitize' cleans the content, 'warn' returns a safety report, 'block' returns HTTP 422. | |
| load_more_clicks | No | Number of times to click the load_more_selector (1–10). Defaults to 3. | |
| load_more_scroll | No | Scroll between load_more clicks. Defaults to true. | |
| scroll_to_bottom | No | Scroll to the bottom of the page before extracting. Useful for lazy-loaded content. | |
| wait_for_selector | No | CSS selector to wait for before extracting. | |
| load_more_selector | No | CSS selector for a 'load more' button to click before extracting. | |
| load_more_item_selector | No | CSS selector to watch for new items when using load_more_selector. |
