Powered by AI

AlterLab Cortex

An autonomous AI system that monitors your scraping infrastructure, diagnoses failures in real-time, and deploys optimizations automatically.

Zero-Touch Optimization

Cortex operates autonomously, continuously improving your scraping success rates without manual intervention.

01

Detect

Monitor all scraping requests and identify patterns in failures

02

Diagnose

AI analyzes root causes using ML models and historical data

03

Optimize

Generate and test multiple solution candidates in parallel

04

Deploy

Automatically roll out the best-performing strategy

Autonomous Failure Recovery

When a scrape fails, Cortex analyzes the root cause, generates multiple fix strategies, validates them in parallel, and deploys the optimal solution—all without human intervention.

Adaptive Anti-Bot Strategies

Cortex continuously learns from successful and failed attempts, dynamically adjusting browser fingerprints, request patterns, and timing to stay ahead of detection systems.

Cross-Domain Intelligence

Insights learned from one domain automatically improve performance on similar sites. The system builds a knowledge graph of web structures, defense mechanisms, and optimal extraction patterns.

Predictive Optimization

Machine learning models predict which sites are likely to change or implement new protections, proactively testing and adapting strategies before issues arise.

Cortex included in every plan. 5,000 free scrapes to start.

Why teams switch to AlterLab

Extract more. Pay less.
Access any website.

Six capabilities that set us apart from every other scraping API.

LLM-Ready Output

Your AI agents waste most of their context window parsing raw HTML. Cortex strips the noise and delivers clean markdown, JSON, or text — up to 70% fewer tokens, zero parsing code.
