Implementation Strategies for Efficient Data Crawling
Web data crawling often faces problems such as anti-crawl restrictions, structure changes, data cleaning, etc. Airtop's solution has the following advantages:
- Intelligent Element Recognition: Specify the crawling target in natural language (e.g. "extract all elements with .price class name").
- Adaptive Paging: Automatically recognizes and handles paging navigation for full data collection
- Structured Output: Directly generate data in JSON format, support API docking and file exporting
Best Practices:
- Use precise target descriptions (compare "Extract data" with "Extract product name, price and stock status")
- Work with CSS selectors to improve accuracy (e.g. "extract h3 tag text under div.product-list")
- Setting reasonable intervals between operations (bans can be avoided by "waiting 2 seconds before clicking on the next page")
- Automate Data Inbound with API Integration
Actual tests show that this method can improve the efficiency of e-commerce data collection by more than 8 times. For dynamically loaded content, it is recommended to work with commands such as "scroll to the bottom of the page" to ensure that the data is loaded completely.
