Link Following

Link Following

The follow config option allows you to specify a list of CSS selectors that determine which links the scraper should follow.

When no value is provided the scraper will follow all links found with the a[href] selector.

Configuration
export const config = {
  url: "http://example.com/",
  follow: [
    ".pagination > a[href]",
    ".nav a[href]",
  ],
  // ...
};

Following non href attributes

For special cases where the link is not to be found in the href, you specify a selector with a different ending attribute.

Configuration
export const config = {
  url: "http://example.com/",
  follow: [
    ".articles > div[data-url]",
  ],
  // ...
};
