Frequently asked questions

How does it work?

Our server fetches the public page once (browsers block reading other sites directly), and the extraction runs in your browser. Nothing is stored.

Does it respect robots.txt?

Yes. If a site's robots.txt disallows automated access to the page, the scraper won't fetch it. Pages are read up to 5 MB.

Why is a page empty?

Some sites build their content with JavaScript after loading. Open the page in your browser, copy its HTML (or the element's HTML from DevTools) and use Paste HTML.

How do I use a custom selector?

Set a row selector such as .product to repeat for each card, then add columns with selectors inside it, like h2 for the name and a with href for the link.

Is web scraping legal?

Reading public pages is generally fine, but follow each site's terms, don't collect personal data without a lawful reason, and don't republish copyrighted content.
