The tool can automate 60-90% of websites using only HTTP requests, as demonstrated on sites like BookMyShow and MakeMyTrip.", "body_md": "Hello HN,\n\nI would like to share my project: AutomatiQ\n\nAutomatiQ 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.\n\nThis 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 pause, talk, guide the agent on its RE path.\n\nI 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nI have written about the journey to create AutomatiQ in the notion site link.\n\nGithub: [https://github.com/StoneSteel27/AutomatiQ](https://github.com/StoneSteel27/AutomatiQ)\n\nDemo 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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfMvAQP5pkM)\n\nThanks for your time, hope you have a great day/night ahead ;)\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48554751](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48554751)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-automatiq-write-automations-scrapers-for-any-site-just-by-browsing", "canonical_source": "https://shiny-sushi-116.notion.site/automatiq", "published_at": "2026-06-16 13:09:44+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-16 13:19:22.041351+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-agents", "ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["AutomatiQ", "GitHub", "BookMyShow", "MakeMyTrip"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-automatiq-write-automations-scrapers-for-any-site-just-by-browsing", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-automatiq-write-automations-scrapers-for-any-site-just-by-browsing.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-automatiq-write-automations-scrapers-for-any-site-just-by-browsing.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-automatiq-write-automations-scrapers-for-any-site-just-by-browsing.jsonld"}}
