Web scraping and extraction
Chaining
Also called: Extractor chaining
Linking extractors so the output of one, such as product URLs from a listings page, becomes the input of the next, such as a details-page extractor.
In practice
Chaining is how a program goes from a category to every product in it without hand-built URL lists.
at import.io
Import.io extractors are built by point-and-click, AI assistance or engineers, with rendering, pagination and schema detection built in.
