Can I add new niches without touching the code? Yes—each vertical is defined in a configuration file describing selectors, API usage, and enrichment rules.
Does the scraper work with rotating proxies? The engine supports multiple proxy providers and automatically distributes traffic across residential or datacenter pools.
Which APIs are supported? The integration layer includes Google Search/Places, OpenCorporates, Socrata/OpenData, and SerpAPI. Additional APIs can be added through config.
How does enrichment improve lead quality? The pipeline aggregates signals from third-party services to attach emails, domains, social profiles, and identifiers, resulting in more complete lead objects.
Primary Metric: Processes an average of 180–300 high-quality leads per minute depending on niche complexity.
Reliability Metric: Maintains a 97%+ completion rate across long-running scraping sessions with proxy rotation enabled.
Efficiency Metric: Uses concurrent browser workers to maximize throughput while keeping resource consumption predictable.
Quality Metric: Achieves 90–95% data completeness after enrichment, with consistent schema across all industries.
