Diffbot

Diffbot is an AI web data extraction platform based on computer vision and machine learning that automatically turns the world's 1.2 billion public websites into a structured knowledge graph. Its core value is letting applications access internet data the way they access a database, serving enterprise customers in finance, news, consumer goods, and risk management.

Key Features

• Knowledge Graph: The world's largest automated knowledge base, with over 2 billion entities (companies, people, articles, products, and more) and 10 trillion facts, offering query and data enrichment services
• Extract API: Uses computer vision to automatically identify and extract the core content of web pages, parsing 20+ page types such as articles, products, and discussions without writing rules
• Crawlbot: Converts any website into a structured database within minutes, supporting large-scale web crawling
• Natural language processing APIs: Automatically infer entities, relationships, and sentiment from raw text to build knowledge graphs
• Diffbot LLM: An in-house 70B-parameter language model that outperforms internet-connected models such as Perplexity and Gemini on factual accuracy benchmarks

Use Cases

In investment research, analysts use Diffbot's knowledge graph to quickly gather accurate data and news on companies worldwide to support decisions. In market intelligence, companies use the Extract API to automatically monitor competitors' product information and pricing strategies. Content aggregation platforms use Crawlbot to batch-crawl and structure news site content.

Unique Advantages

Diffbot runs its own web-wide crawler, independent of Google and Bing, from data centers in California, and reads pages like a human using computer vision, making it smarter than traditional rule-based crawlers. Its knowledge graph contains 50 times as many articles as Google News indexes, with unmatched coverage of long-tail people and organization data.
