Manual Research Doesn't Scale

Your competitors publish pricing changes, new features, and job postings daily. You can't monitor it all manually.

⏰

Hours of Manual Work

Analysts spend 60%+ of their time collecting data instead of analyzing it. Copy-pasting from websites is soul-crushing and error-prone.

🔒

Sites Block Scrapers

Competitor sites, review platforms, and job boards use anti-bot protections. Simple HTTP requests get blocked or return incomplete data.

📊

Unstructured Data

Even when you can access pages, the data is trapped in HTML. Extracting structured fields from diverse page layouts requires constant maintenance.

Intelligence Workflows

WebPerception turns any URL into structured competitive data with one API call.

Python — Track Competitor Pricing

import requests

competitors = [
    "https://competitor-a.com/pricing",
    "https://competitor-b.com/plans",
    "https://competitor-c.io/pricing"
]

for url in competitors:
    response = requests.post("https://api.mantisapi.com/v1/extract", json={
        "url": url,
        "prompt": """Extract all pricing tiers. For each tier return:
        - plan name
        - monthly price
        - annual price (if shown)
        - key features (list)
        - API call limits or usage limits
        - who it's targeted at (individual/team/enterprise)""",
        "render_js": True
    }, headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"})
    
    pricing = response.json()["data"]
    print(f"\n{url}:")
    for tier in pricing["tiers"]:
        print(f"  {tier['plan_name']}: ${tier['monthly_price']}/mo")

Python — Monitor Hiring Signals

import requests

# Hiring = growth signal. Track competitor job postings.
response = requests.post("https://api.mantisapi.com/v1/extract", json={
    "url": "https://competitor.com/careers",
    "prompt": """Extract all open job positions. For each return:
    - job title
    - department (engineering, sales, marketing, etc.)
    - location (remote/city)
    - seniority level""",
    "render_js": True
}, headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"})

jobs = response.json()["data"]["positions"]
eng_roles = [j for j in jobs if j["department"] == "engineering"]
sales_roles = [j for j in jobs if j["department"] == "sales"]

print(f"Engineering: {len(eng_roles)} open roles (building)")
print(f"Sales: {len(sales_roles)} open roles (scaling)")
