Hello HN,
I would like to share my project: AutomatiQ
AutomatiQ is an Open-Source Reverse-Engineering AI Agent, that can write requests-based(no browser) automation/scraper scripts on its own, all we have to do is, to normally browse the website once.
This makes it a lot easier to create/fix scripts, all we have to is browse the site. This is not a completly autonomous agent, you can , talk, guide the agent on its RE path.
I am aware of the limitations of this approach, but from my own research(please refer the blog for details) up to 60%-90% of websites can be automated/scraped with just requests.
I was able to run this against some popular websites like, bookmyshow, makemytrip. And to test it in the open, I was able to one-shot scraper solutions for 2 problems posted on r/webscraping.
I have written about the journey to create AutomatiQ in the notion site link.
Github: https://github.com/StoneSteel27/AutomatiQ Demo video of using Automatiq on bookmyshow website to get current running movies, showtimes, seat layout of a particular screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfMvAQP5pkM
Thanks for your time, hope you have a great day/night ahead ;)
