By default, we will return you the first HTML element that matches the selector. If you want to get all elements matching the selector, you should use the type option.

type: item | list (default: item)

item: Return first element matching the selector (default)
list: Return a list of all elements matching the selector

Example

Here is an example for extracting post titles from our blog:

JSON

1{
2  "extract_rules": {
3    "first_post_title": {
4      "selector": ".post-title",
5      "type": "item"
6    },
7    "all_post_title": {
8      "selector": ".post-title",
9      "type": "list"
10    }
11  }
12}

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

JSON

1{
2  "first_post_title": "  Block ressources with Puppeteer - (5min)",
3  "all_post_title": [
4    "  Block ressources with Puppeteer - (5min)",
5    "  Web Scraping vs Web Crawling: Ultimate Guide - (10min)",
6    "...",
