Usage Instructions:
First : Insert the scraper element into your editor.
1. Basic Configuration:
Site URL: Enter the full URL of the page you want to scrape (e.g.
https://example.com).
Selector Type: Choose between tag, class, id or content to define how the element will be located.
Selector Value: Enter the name of the tag, class, ID or text you want to search for (e.g. "title", ".btn-primary", "#header").
Target: Define what will be extracted:
"text" (text content)
"html" or "innerHTML" (inner HTML code)
A specific attribute (e.g. "src" for images, "href" for links)
Element Index: If there are multiple results, specify the position of the desired element (starting at 0).
2. Available Outputs:
result: Returns the extracted content (text, HTML or attribute value).
dom_value: Returns the full HTML of the found element, useful for debugging or further processing.
Practical Examples:
Example 1: Extracting the Title of a Page
Selector Type: "tag"

Selector Type: "class"
Selector Value: "mw-file-element"
Target: "src"
Index: 0
Output: The URL of the image, such as "//upload.wikimedia.org/.../image.png".
Example 3: Extract Text from a Button
Selector Type: "class"
Selector Value: "btn-primary"
Target: "text"
Index: 0
Output: The text of the button, such as "Click Here".
Example 4: Extract a Link
Selector Type: "id"
Selector Value: "link-download"
Target: "href"

Output: The full link, such as "
https://site.com/file.pdf".
Tips and Troubleshooting:
Selector Not Working? Use DevTools (F12) to inspect the element and verify that the selector is correct.
Site Blocking Scraping? The plugin automatically tries alternative proxies, but some sites may require advanced settings.
Dynamic Content (JavaScript)? Sites that load data via JS may not work. Consider using Puppeteer or headless tools.
"Timeout" error? Increase the timeout or check the connection to the site.
Important Notes:
Respect the Terms of Use of the scraped sites. Some sites prohibit automatic scraping.
For sites with advanced authentication or protection, consider using the official API of the service, if available.
The plugin is optimized for simple scraping. If you need advanced features (like page navigation), integrate with Backend Workflows.
Support and Updates:
