Turn the entire internet into a data source and pull specific data points from any website straight into Clay.
Clay Extension
For many websites, Clay automatically understands the page based on other peoples' mappings or our auto-detection. Anything we don't understand out of the box, you can select the data yourself in a few clicks and easily it right into the Clay sheet.
HOW IT WORKS
You can skip manual copy-pasting from online lists, or that same data you keep grabbing from company/people profile pages, and use our simple data selection tool to map and download the exact data points you need from any website using only a URL.
🤓 Find auto-detected lists. See a list you like on a website? Pop open the extension to check if it's been auto-detected, and add it to Clay.
🧐 Map your own lists. If a list isn't detected or you want to pull in a few more attributes, map your own lists and add it as new leads in Clay.
😲 Map page recipes. Instead of manually copy-pasting the same data from similarly structured pages into your table, pull important attributes from any website into Clay using just a URL.
