Overview
Kadoa is an AI-powered tool designed to automate web scraping. Its key feature is to enable no-code, maintenance-free data extraction and transformation, making it an accessible tool for both non-technical and technical users alike.
It allows users to automate their data processing by selecting from predefined templates, specifying the type of data they intent to extract. This ranges from job postings to ecommerce information such as title, description, price, rating, SKU, reviews and more.
Furthermore, Kadoa has an auto-detect feature which can refine the scraping process by pinpointing the specific data the user needs. Prior to the extraction, users have the opportunity to review sample data, to ensure the relevance and accuracy of the scraping.
Once the user has specified their requirements, Kadoa takes over automatic data extraction and transformation, providing a seamless experience that reduces the manual labour and complexity typically associated with web scraping.
Users may access this tool via their Google account or simply by using their email address. Although it is a subscription-based service, Kadoa offers a free sign-up that includes API and Dashboard Access and a certain number of credits.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Amateur hour if I ever saw it: they change their entire API endpoints on a whim on the SAME VERSION, breaking all of the work you've done to integrate with them (thousands of $), then tell you you're not an $5k / month Enterprise customer and they don't really support their self serve product so...tough luck buddy. I was one of their first customers and have been using them for over a year and a half only to wake up one day to customer complaints because our integration had broken and be told they basically don't care about.
After I reached out to their team, it became clear that they had simply changed their entire API from one day to the next on the same version, with no notice and a documentation that doesn't reflect the changes they made.
Literally everything is broken in one way or another: the UI fails to save changes every other try, the API has three different versions in use at the same time, some endpoints use v3 others use v4, similar payload responses don't even reply with the same structure for the data, the documentation is completely out of sync with the actual endpoints, the webhooks trigger 3 times in a row and on and on and on...
Somehow they have several engineers, yet no-one there actually knows how to fix your problem.
I've been a customer for over a year and a half and after breaking my entire integration, they just told me to go take my business elsewhere because they couldn't support their OWN breaking changes! Oh and by the way, it took a week of back and forth and trying to fix my integration and work with their broken documentation to tell me this.
Total insanity. I couldn't ever imagine being an Enterprise customer with these people, their whole product is built on a shoestring and they have absolutely no respect whatsoever for their customers.
