Article Scraper(Free) - Tutorial + Required fields - colink - 03-14-2022
What do I need to enter in required fields to make the scraper start?
I have a simple .txt file of URL's in this format:
https://domain.com/02-2021
https://domain.com/04-2021
https://domain.com/05-2021
In case it is relevant line breaks are CR=LF
https://domain.com/02-2011\r\n
https://domain.com/03-2004\r\n
https://domain.com/03-2012\r\n
The pages contain a list of URL's + a number in plain text (Nothing else on the page, no titles, no hyperlinks - just plain text
eg
www.adobe.com 1
www.microsoft.com 2
www.google.com 3
All I want to do is scrape al the content (the list of URL's plus number (I will parse later).
I have tried to fill in the required fields with variations including \r\n
Is Article Scraper the correct tool to use?
Advice welcome.
+ Is there a video or text tutorial for the free article scraper

for scraping articles anyway.
If I were trying to do what you were doing, I would use the custom data scraper, most ideally i would use the custom data scraper that is part of the email scraper plugin, as it would parse things for you with a nice excel export but anyway here you go
