Limitations

Analog works best when a page presents useful content as repeated records. Structured output is currently least reliable on:

  • Restaurant menus. Output can come out garbled or oddly split.
  • Discussion threads (Hacker News comments, forums, Reddit). Nested replies extract poorly, and tables inside posts can garble.
  • Some table-like layouts. A section that reads as a table on screen can come out garbled.
  • Social feeds and walls. Records can come out ragged, with uneven fields from item to item.
  • Very long feeds. Only part of a very long feed may be captured; the result says how far it got.

JavaScript-heavy pages are not a limitation by themselves: the built-in browser renders them by default. A site that blocks automated visitors is different from a weak extraction; Analog reports the block as the result and stops. See Privacy & security.

A quality report is useful whether or not the page type appears above: the Feedback guide explains the symptom labels and submission routes.
