Safari Extract API
Design Safari extraction around an explicit user action and a reviewed extension boundary.

A focused use case
Capture a permitted page selection into a small structured record that the user can inspect before sharing with another system.
A practical workflow
Evaluate the Safari web extension route for the target environment. Keep collection limited to the selected task, test permissions and presentation on the intended device, and document where any content is sent.
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_url | Selected page location |
| selection | Permitted content scope |
| record_id | Local or workflow identity |
| export_status | Review and handoff state |
Limits worth keeping visible
Do not assume that a Chrome implementation works unchanged in Safari. Verify platform packaging and access behavior for the actual target; no extension binary is supplied here.
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.
Continue with Website Extract API: From HTML to Useful Records for the full implementation discussion, and use the sample contract documentation to review the shape of a handoff.
Consult the source documentation for implementation details and current access conditions. The workflow above is an editorial planning pattern.
