Labor market intelligence (LMI) increasingly depends on large-scale, high‑quality web data: job postings, company career pages, professional profiles, and wage disclosures. In 2026, this data is both more valuable and harder to collect. Anti‑bot systems, sophisticated JavaScript front‑ends, and CAPTCHAs are now standard on major job and employer platforms. To build robust LMI pipelines – especially those powering AI and large language models (LLMs) – organizations must move beyond fragile, in‑house scrapers toward specialized web scraping APIs.
