Parsing - Introduction

Core and Advanced plans are no longer available for purchase. Please consider migrating to the all-in-one Web Scraper API; check out the guide here.

Certain target templates include built-in parsing strategies developed to simplify data extraction and transformation. You can enable these strategies by setting the parse parameter to true. Below, you’ll find a table of templates that support this functionality.
