News data, captured faster

Pull clean news data from articles, listings, and sources without the manual grind.

Get the full article detail

News listing pages only give you a teaser. Thunderbit visits each article's full page and pulls back everything that matters — headline, summary, author, publication date, news source, and section. Go from a bare list of links to a complete, structured dataset without the tedious manual work.

Bulk scrape News url lists

Scraping one article at a time is not a workflow — it's a chore. Paste in a list of article URLs and Thunderbit bulk-scrapes hundreds of pages in one run, capturing every field you need across each story. Collecting large news datasets has never been this straightforward.

Keep News data fresh

News moves fast, and yesterday's data loses its value quickly. Schedule your scrape and Thunderbit runs on autopilot — keeping your spreadsheet stocked with fresh headlines, summaries, authors, publication dates, sources, and sections on whatever cadence you set. Recurring updates, zero manual effort.

Why is Thunderbit different from traditional news scrapers?

A faster way to collect messy news data without constant breakage.

Traditional scrapers

The old way of doing things
News sites constantly change layouts and article blocks — scrapers built on CSS selectors break without warning.
Pagination and infinite scroll work differently across publishers, making complete article collection unreliable.
Articles often have missing bylines, timestamps, or author credits, leaving your dataset patchy and incomplete.
Paywalls, login prompts, and buried related links make article discovery and extraction unnecessarily tedious.
Each section — world, business, sports, opinion — formats pages differently, requiring constant rule rewrites.
The AI Advantage

Thunderbit AI

The smarter approach
Thunderbit reads page meaning rather than CSS selectors, so layout changes don't break your scrape.
Pagination is detected and followed automatically — capture full article lists without any manual configuration.
Subpage scraping visits each linked article and appends author, date, and summary as additional columns.
Semantic AI adapts to inconsistent news formats and structures fields cleanly during extraction.
Export your news data straight to Google Sheets, Notion, or Airtable in one click.
