The reality is, though, that there are no such APIs. LLMs on the other hand could be a valid tool for the use case.
It's not that there's no API. It's that there's probably a different API for every single grocery store. And they make random changes and don't have public documentation. That's why we need the AI.
Indeed. LLMs read with the same sort of comprehension that humans have, so if a supermarket makes their website compatible with humans then it's also compatible with LLMs. We have the same "API", as it were.
Can LLMs interpret structured input like html?
Yup. And those that can't can have a parser pull just the human-readable text out, like a blind person's screen-reader would do.
