It is also possible to add extraction rules inside the output option in order to create powerful extractors.

Example

Here are the rules that would extract general information and all blog post details from FoxScrape's blog:

JSON

1{
2  "extract_rules": {
3    "title": "h1",
4    "subtitle": "#subtitle",
5    "articles": {
6      "selector": ".card",
7      "type": "list",
8      "output": {
9        "title": ".post-title",
10        "link": {
11          "selector": ".post-title",
12          "output": "@href"
13        },
14        "description": ".post-description"
15      }
16    }
17  }
18}

The information extracted by the above rules on FoxScrape's blog page would be:

JSON
