SelectorLock, the scraper that repairs its own selectors
An API for scraping pages with CSS selectors that can be repaired and persisted when a site's DOM changes.
Field notes
SelectorLock stores a scraper as a field map of CSS selectors and exposes extraction through /v1/extract. When those selectors no longer match, the documented repair loop returns healed data and writes replacement selectors back to the scraper. The example response reports a healed flag, updated selectors, and a scraper ID; inline selectors remain available for one-off calls but cannot persist repairs. The service expects an HTTP-proxy-over-HTTP(S) endpoint from the caller.
