Internet Extract API
Turn a broad search idea into a bounded, source-specific collection plan.

A focused use case
Build a research index from an approved list of feeds and websites, with documented inclusion criteria and clear source attribution.
A practical workflow
Define the sources, resource types, collection interval, and required fields. Use supported interfaces where available and separate each source adapter from the canonical record and delivery format.
An example record contract
These fields illustrate the decisions to make before implementation. Adapt the names and required values to the receiving system; the table is not a promise of a live endpoint or a provider-specific response.
| Example field | Meaning in this contract |
|---|---|
| source_id | Approved collection source |
| resource_id | Source-specific identity |
| observed_at | Collection context |
| provenance | Where accepted values came from |
Limits worth keeping visible
There is no single permission model for the internet. Review access instructions and applicable conditions per source rather than treating visibility as universal authorization.
Before increasing the workload
Run a small, authorized test set through the whole path, including the receiving application. Keep accepted, rejected, and incomplete outcomes distinguishable. A result should retain the context needed to explain its meaning after it leaves the extractor.

Consult the source documentation for implementation details and current access conditions. The workflow above is an editorial planning pattern.
