Once you have configured your automated workflow, you can use it anytime to scrape data from the required domain or web page.
Pline Browser Extension extracts only 50 records without signing in. Log in to your Pline account to scrape more web data and download the report's CSV file without interruption.
Go to the website where you want to extract data.
Open the Pline extension and select “Automated Data Extraction” mode.
Choose either a prebuilt or custom Workflow.
For quick access to frequently used workflows, save them as Favorites in the Pline Portal.
Once you click “Use workflow” you’ll need to create a dataset.
Pline gives you the option to either:
Create a new dataset to start fresh.
Add to an existing dataset if you wish to merge the extracted data with previously saved records.
After making your selection, click “Create Dataset” to initiate the workflow.
Pline lets you merge records with existing dataset files for the same domain and page.
Pline will automatically begin extracting data based on your workflow.
The workflow will run until the end of the page or until you manually click “Stop collection.”
After stopping the extraction, you can:
Preview the sample data to verify the extraction.
Download the data in CSV format.
Visit the Pline Dashboard for further analysis of the collected data.
You can access the complete dataset or download the CSV or JSON file from the Dataset tab in your Pline Dashboard.
