Web-scraping tools generally use macros or configuration methods, and follow a sequential list of commands. The macro approach is more user friendly and automatically records the actions of a user in a browser. However, there are typically restrictions on accessing the code behind the agent. The configuration approach allows the user to directly configure each part of the agent. They can introduce more code structure, controls, data refinements, or add their own naming conventions. Content Grabber gives you the option to either follow the simple macro automation methods, or to take direct control over the treatment of each element and command within your agent. Content Grabber Agent Development With Content Grabber, you can visually browse the website and click on the data elements in the order that you want to collect them. Based on the content elements selected, Content Grabber will automatically determine the corresponding action type and provide default names for each command as it builds the agent for you.
