There are two Scraper types:

• DETAIL type is for scraping fields that are unique on a single webpage
• LIST type is for scraping fields within a list-block where the blocks repeat on the webpage.
• more explanation

2. Pick fields on webpage

After choosing type, you can pick data fields on the current webpage:

• Fields data is real-time preview
• If type is LIST , you need to pick a list-block before picking fields in the list-blocks.
• LIST preview data will display as a table, with each list-block of data in a separate row.
• Fields can be set to text / image / link type. This will extract different data into the result: image with their src attributes and links with their text and href.

3. Multiple page config

Now ScrapeFan supports three types of multiple pages:

• List of page URLs

  Input your URL list into the textarea, seperated by lines

• Pages with Next-Button

  You need to pick the Next-Button on the webpage, similar to picking fields

• Infinite Scroll page
