FAQs

Does this scraper handle dynamic content? It’s optimized for static HTML responses. If a page relies heavily on client-side rendering, only server-delivered HTML is captured.

Can I limit how many pages it scrapes? Yes — you can set a maximum page count through the input configuration.

What happens if a page fails to load? The crawler retries intelligently and logs failures without stopping the entire run.

Can I customize the extracted fields? Absolutely. The parsing modules are modular, making it simple to add or adjust selectors.
