# Can I replace ParseHub with an AI agent?

A point-and-click scraper that runs projects on its servers and exports the results. Partly. looot covers some of the jobs and not others.

## What ParseHub does and what looot covers

- Extract a page into fields: covered. Providers: diffbot, jina, firecrawl, zyte-api.
- Crawl a site: covered. Providers: firecrawl, apify.
- Render JavaScript pages: covered. Providers: zyte-api, brightdata, apify, firecrawl, hyperbrowser, steel, tinyfish.

## Agent prompt to replace ParseHub

Use looot to scrape the listing pages at the URL I give you, follow each result, and return the fields I name as a table. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

## Can an AI agent replace ParseHub?

Partly. An agent running looot can do some of what ParseHub does through catalog endpoints, and the page marks the jobs it cannot do.

## Is there a free ParseHub alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than ParseHub depends on your volume.

## What does ParseHub cost?

List prices change, so check ParseHub's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind ParseHub's data jobs directly. The providers used here are diffbot, jina, firecrawl, zyte-api, apify, brightdata, hyperbrowser, steel, tinyfish.

## Which ParseHub features does looot not cover?

Not covered: point-and-click builder, scheduled runs. Keep ParseHub for those, or use another tool beside looot.

## How do I replace ParseHub with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

## Do I need a ParseHub account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your ParseHub account. Your existing ParseHub data stays where it is.
