Get started right from your browser: execute scraping requests, both JS and non-JS, submitting the form below.
Quick examples: HackerNews basic    Linkedin Job Posting    auto.de results    POST JSON    Click & dump JSON
 
 
Advanced. Can be used to dump sub-request. See airlines scraper example. Use with caution: bad URL mask will result in timeouts because scraper will be waiting for the AJAX call until the timeout, and won't be able to dump required data! Explore .info.catchedAjax of the ScrapeNinja response to retrieve the dumped request. This is a global handler, you can also specify XHR request catcher per-step (see "Interact with page" sectin below).
 
Advanced. Interact with page: fill in forms, and click links!
  Activate if the action triggers page redirect.
 
Catched XHR response body will be available within .info.log events array from the returned ScrapeNinja response (find this particular event by filtering let xhr = body.info.log.find(e => e.type == 'xhr' && e.stepIdx == {{idx+1}})).
