How do you scrape with WebHarvy?

1. To begin, navigate to a target website. In this case, search results from https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/products.

2. Press Start to begin target data selection.

3. Select the desired attributes, for example, book titles and prices. The browser allows you to click on specific content for scraping. The cursor detects data patterns that occur on a webpage. If the data repeats, the tool scrapes it automatically without additional user input.

4. Choose Capture Text and name your items accordingly.

5. After selecting data to be scraped, press Stop to finish the configuration.

6. Click Start-Mine and press ▶Start to extract your data.

7. After the extraction process is over, click Export and select the export method. WebHarvy saves scraped data in Excel, XML, CSV, JSON, and TSV formats. Alternatively, a database destination could be used as well.

And that’s it. Here’s the final result – a spreadsheet with titles, prices, availability, and description.
