Agent (Data Extraction)
A pre-built tool that extracts a specific type of data from a specific source.
Full definition
In the context of data extraction platforms like Lagic, an agent is a specialized program built to pull a defined dataset from a defined source. For example, a Google Maps Business Scraper agent extracts business name, phone, email, and address from any Google Maps search. Agents differ from generic scrapers in that they are pre configured, tested, and maintained for reliable output.
