by pienisieni, 4 years agoBest browser based web scraper I have ever seen with great potential to be even better! Support excellent. Few suggestions: 1. ability to reset projects instead of having to delete and add new projects every time (useful when testing out things) 2. ability to use infinite scrolling only for extracting URLs, not when extracting text content from the URLs.

posted 4 years agoThank you! I really hope the plugin based scraping architecture will make the extension popular in the long term.
Regarding your suggestions, I've opened a couple of enhancements:

You're correct about the ScrollPlugin trying to perform infinite scrolling on either all pages or none. But it stops after a single scrolling action if no new content was added to the page. This behavior can probably be improved though... Will think on it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Thad, 3 years agoThis is the missing quick scrape tool that so many of us needed for those dynamic sites with lots of click events on a page for each row or element or box where you want to extract details on each. This extension makes it super easy to quickly use a CSS selector to define the click elements you need to click over and over and then further extract the details from other areas. Better yet, it's Open Source on GitHub and you can contribute back to make it better!
