How to save a setup and reuse it on the same site

ScrapeMaster saves your column setup, pagination rules and detail-follow configuration per domain. Come back to the same site later and the saved configuration is re-applied automatically, which turns a recurring collection into a two-click job.

Takes about 1 min

Steps

  1. Configure the extraction once, properly

    Rename columns, remove what you don't need, set pagination and detail-follow the way you want them.

  2. Extract

    The configuration is saved against that domain.

  3. Return to the site later

    Open ScrapeMaster on the same domain and your saved setup is applied automatically.

  4. Adjust if the site has changed

    Site redesigns change page structure. Check the detected table before extracting rather than assuming the old configuration still fits.

Worth knowing

  • Configurations are stored per domain, so a saved setup applies across that site's pages rather than one specific URL.
  • This is the feature that makes repeat monitoring practical — weekly price checks, recurring directory pulls, tracking a listing over time.
  • It's still manual: the extension runs when you run it. There's no scheduled unattended collection.

Questions

Can I schedule an extraction to run automatically?

No. ScrapeMaster runs when you run it — saved configurations remove the setup work, not the need to be there. For scheduled unattended collection, a hosted scraping platform is the right category of tool.
