# Site Scrapers

> Skill `site-scrapers` on Faro. 7 sub-skills.

Extracts structured records from specific types of websites: social platforms, video sites, marketplaces, review sites, property listings, travel, and jobs. Each operation is purpose-built for its target, returning clean, typed records instead of raw HTML. Use this when you know which platform you want data from; use generic web scraping for arbitrary URLs.

**Category:** Web & Search  
**Tags:** scraping, social-media, marketplace, reviews, jobs, lead-generation, search, instagram, tiktok, linkedin, youtube  
**Use when:** You need structured items from a known platform such as social, maps, marketplaces, reviews, jobs, listings, or video.  
**Not for:** Crawling arbitrary websites, pages behind your own login, or low-latency single lookups; use general web scraping or research for those.  
**Returns:** information — Returns a list of structured records plus a count. A large run may come back in progress with a continuation to send straight back; it is not a downloadable file.

## How to run
Skills run through one gateway with your Faro token. Hand it an `intent` in plain language; Faro routes to the right sub-skill, runs it, and bills per call. Raw tools are internal plumbing and are not directly callable.
