Data Extraction

Process

1. Identify the source (URL or file path)
2. Determine what data to extract (fields, format)
3. Read the source content
4. Extract into structured format (JSON, table, etc.)

Guidelines

• Be precise about what fields to extract
• Handle missing data gracefully (use null)
• Validate extracted data types
• Include metadata about extraction (source, timestamp)

Output Format

Return extracted data as JSON:

{
  "source": "url or file path",
  "extracted_at": "ISO timestamp",
  "data": {
    "field1": "value1",
    "field2": ["list", "values"],
    "field3": null
  }
}

Example: Extract Contact Info

Input: “Extract contact information from https://example.com/about”

Output:

{
  "source": "https://example.com/about",
  "extracted_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "data": {
    "name": "Example Corp",
    "email": "contact@example.com",
    "phone": "+1-555-0123",
    "address": "123 Main St, City, ST 12345"
  }
}
