I'm trying to understand the edge here. How is this different from using a crawler + LLM to fetch a page and extract the metrics? Is the main value coverage/reliability across sites?

yes, mainly reliability if you're making a lot of calls. if you run this on your own server you'll run into a lot of issues being able to crawl
