by Firefox user 13976503, 3 months agoThis is about the worst usage documentation for an extension I've seen since 1998. All I wanted to do was basically create a site map of a non-ecomm website. This is a perfect example of people who know their app inside and out, not looking at it from the viewpoint of the user. When certain elements don't show up the same in a user's situation as they do in a no-sound video, it's confusing and incomplete help. I'd give it a zero stars if I could because it's worthless without a more clear training. Over-simplification is not always good.

- Rated 3 out of 5by xBB, 2 years agoCompletely unintuitive. No menu on right click, no menu from the addon tool bar. Too complicated for noobs, sorry.

posted 2 years agoYes the parser is only available in Web Scraper Cloud. But you can use OpenRefine to parse scraped data. It is a free tool for large dataset parsing.
We have written a series of articles on how to use OpenRefine:

- Rated 4 out of 5by Donatello Hu, 2 years agopretty useful tool to crawl info from a listing website; but there's a significant learning curve, especially I had some difficulties using pagination selector and avoid duplicating the first page.
