Structured Extraction

Comparing anything means first making the sources agree on shape. Two listing sites will name the same thing three ways and omit a different field each. The whole job is doing that without quietly filling the gaps.

One schema, decided first

Write the fields down before fetching. For an offer of any kind, that is usually:

Add whatever the specific question needs, and no more. A schema with fields nobody will compare is a schema that invites guessing.

The rule that matters

A field the page did not state is missing, not zero, and not "probably the usual". A listing without a stated deposit is not a listing with no deposit. Leave it out, or mark it absent, and let the comparison refuse to rank that row — compare_offers does exactly that, and the refusal is information.

Same for units and currency. 8.750.000 is a number written the way that site writes numbers; Rp 8.750.000 is a price. Carry the currency per row, because the moment two currencies meet in one total the total is wrong and looks right.

Method

1. fetch_page on the item's own page — not the search listing.
2. extract_structured with the field list. It runs a small model against the

text and returns fields, which is cheaper and steadier than reading prose.

1. Check the rows. If one field is empty on every row from one site, the pattern

is wrong, not the site.

1. For more than a handful of rows, or any arithmetic beyond adding, use

run_code — a program that sums is checkable, a paragraph that sums is not.

Reporting

State per row where it came from and what was missing. A table that looks complete because the gaps were filled is worse than one with holes, because nobody can see which numbers to distrust.

Output

• Rows in one shape, each with its source URL
• What was missing, per row
• Which sources could not be read at all
