Scrape multiple URLs into one consistent dataset

Add a known URL list or discover pagination links from the first page. Apply the same fields across the collection, review the scope, and export the combined rows.

How do you scrape multiple pages without programming?

Create one ScrapeNow run, add the source URLs, define the common fields, and validate the schema on a small sample. If the collection is linked through numbered or next-page navigation, use pagination discovery and review the discovered URLs before processing them.

Choose the source

Use a URL list when you already know the pages

This is the most controlled path. Add the URLs you intend to process and use the same field schema across them. It works best when each page represents the same type of record, such as products, profiles, properties, or articles.

  1. Test one representative URL with the smallest useful field list.
  2. Add the remaining URLs to the same run.
  3. Keep one schema across pages with comparable structure.
  4. Select a capture mode that works for the source website.
  5. Run the collection and inspect the combined result.

Pagination discovery

Discover connected listing pages, then review them

Use pagination discovery when the first listing page links to more pages through a next button, numbered pages, or another repeatable navigation pattern. Describe what ScrapeNow should follow or set the maximum page scope, then review the discovered URLs.

01 / Describe

Identify the page links

Tell ScrapeNow which navigation leads to additional listing pages.

02 / Review

Confirm the discovered scope

Remove irrelevant, duplicate, account, or out-of-scope URLs before continuing.

03 / Extract

Apply one schema

Capture the approved pages and combine the returned records.

Pagination discovery is optional. It should not be enabled for a single standalone page or when you already have the exact URL list.

Browser sessions

Reuse a prepared session across the same website

When a visible session is required, ScrapeNow can reuse it for later URLs from the same site. This is useful after authorized login, cookie consent, or other setup that would otherwise need to be repeated for every page.

Session reuse is a convenience, not an access bypass. Every source page still needs to be within the access and processing scope you are permitted to use.

Use the result table to spot missing fields or inconsistent records before export.

Quality control

Scale only after the schema is stable

CheckWhat to verifyWhy it matters
Representative pageThe first page contains the same record type as the collection.One schema must make sense across the run.
Field meaningEach requested field maps to a distinct visible value.Ambiguous columns become inconsistent at scale.
URL scopeEvery URL is intended, permitted, and not duplicated.Prevents wasted credits and unwanted collection.
Sample rowsSeveral early results contain the expected values.Catches page variants before the full export is used.

Limits

Large collections need deliberate boundaries

  • Discovered links can include irrelevant or duplicate pages, so review them before extraction.
  • Pages with substantially different layouts may not fit one field schema.
  • Dynamic or logged-in collections may require a visible browser session.
  • More pages consume more credits. Validate the setup on a small batch first.
  • ScrapeNow does not bypass access controls or grant permission to collect a website.
