Fetch Multiple Data (Vertical)

Harvest repeating item collections (such as product grids, catalog cards, or search results) from web pages into vertical .xlsx row datasets.

Overview

The Fetch Multiple Data (Vertical) field type extracts repeating occurrences of web elements across a page. For every matching node found, the extension captures the chosen property (text, attribute, href, or image URL) and appends it as a distinct row under Scraper Data.

Configuration Options

Option	Description	Required
Selector Type	Syntax type (`CSS` or `XPath`).	Yes
Selector Query	Target query matching all repeating items on the page.	Yes
Which Element Option Scraping	The specific property to extract from each matched node.	Yes
Element Attribute Name	Attribute to extract when `Element Attribute` is selected (e.g., `data-id`).	Conditional
Wait until element is found in the page	Pauses execution until at least one matching node appears.	No

Scraping Property Options

Option	Extraction Target	Typical Use Case
Element Text	Visible text (`innerText` / `textContent`).	Titles, prices, descriptions, ratings.
Element Value	Input field `value` attribute.	Form inputs, hidden tokens, counters.
Element HTML	Inner markup (`innerHTML`).	Formatted HTML blocks or styled badges.
Element Attribute	Value of any arbitrary HTML attribute.	IDs (`data-sku`), stock status (`data-stock`).
Element Text/Value	Auto-detects text or input value.	Mixed lists of static text and inputs.
Element Link	Hyperlink URL (`href` attribute).	Product links, article URLs.
Element Image Link	Image source URL (`src` attribute).	Thumbnails, gallery images.

Extraction Flow & Multi-Column Workflows

Each Fetch Multiple Data (Vertical) field generates one dedicated column of vertical rows. To extract multi-dimensional datasets (e.g., Product Title, Price, and Product Link together into one Excel row per item):

Field 1 (Product Name):
- Selector: .product-card .product-title
- Property: Element Text
Field 2 (Product Price):
- Selector: .product-card .price-tag
- Property: Element Text
Field 3 (Product URL):
- Selector: .product-card a.product-link
- Property: Element Link

During execution, the extension aligns row indexes across fields to assemble a clean tabular .xlsx spreadsheet.

Practical Examples

Example 1: Extracting Search Result Titles

text

Selector Type: CSS
Selector Query: div.search-result h2.title
Which Element Option Scraping: Element Text
Wait until element is found: Enabled

Example 2: Extracting Product Image URLs

text

Selector Type: CSS
Selector Query: .product-grid img.thumbnail
Which Element Option Scraping: Element Image Link

Example 3: Extracting Custom Data Attribute

text

Selector Type: CSS
Selector Query: tr.order-row
Which Element Option Scraping: Element Attribute
Element Attribute Name: data-order-id

Best Practices

Test Selectors with querySelectorAll: Verify in DevTools console (document.querySelectorAll('.item').length) that the selector captures the intended count.
Ensure Count Alignment: When scraping multiple columns for the same entities, verify all selectors return identical element lengths.
Handle Infinite Scroll: If the target page lazy-loads items upon scrolling, combine with page scroll actions or Loop before triggering the scraper.
