China AI Tool Directory Scraper (ai-bot.cn)

Scrapes ai-bot.cn — the definitive curated China AI tool directory — into a structured dataset of 1,000+ AI tools with names, categories, descriptions, logos, and external links.

What it collects

• Tool names in Chinese and English
• External URL to the tool
• Logo image URL
• Chinese description (meta description from detail page)
• Origin classification (domestic 国内 vs overseas 国外)
• Pricing signals (free / freemium / paid / open-source detection)
• Tags
• Source directory page URL

Why ai-bot.cn?

ai-bot.cn is the de-facto AI tools directory in China with editorially-curated coverage of both domestic and overseas AI tools. It surfaces Chinese AI products — Doubao, Kimi, DeepSeek, MarsCode, Tongyi Lingma, Hunyuan, MiniMax-Hailuo, and hundreds more — that no Western directory covers. Pairs with startups-fyi and other tool-directory scrapers to provide complete East/West coverage.
