Dynamic Scraping (Render)
Wait for
Wait for
The waitFor
parameter in ScrapeDev allows users to pause request processing until a specified element or condition appears on the page. This ensures data is captured only after the necessary content has fully loaded, optimizing accuracy for dynamic or delayed-loading websites.
For example, if you’re scraping a page that loads data dynamically, you can use waitFor
to specify a CSS selector, such as #data-loaded
, to ensure the scraping process only begins once that element appears. This prevents incomplete data from being captured, as the request waits until the necessary content is fully available on the page.
