Lection is a no-code AI web scraper Chrome extension that extracts structured data from any website and sends it to spreadsheets, databases, and automation tools on a schedule.
About
Lection is an AI-powered web scraping extension for Google Chrome that lets people pull structured data out of websites without writing any code. Instead of building scrapers with selectors or scripts, users describe the data they want in plain language — for example, fintech startups with their accelerator batch and location — and the tool handles extraction, pagination, and export. It addresses a common problem: much of the web's useful data sits inside directories, marketplaces, and dashboards that are tedious to copy manually and difficult to automate without programming skills.
Lection runs inside the browser as a Chrome extension and uses an AI agent to interpret pages and collect rows from any site, including JavaScript-heavy ones. It can follow pagination, infinite scroll, and detail-page links, combine listing and detail data into one table, and run scheduled jobs in the cloud even when the browser is closed. Results can be downloaded as CSV, Excel, or JSON, or pushed automatically to destinations such as Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Supabase, and automation platforms like Zapier, Make, n8n, and Pipedream. The product is developed by the team behind lection.app, which also publishes free companion scraping tools and guides.
