Extractor

Extractor is a tool similar to Agent but it is more simplified. It operates with static web pages and does not perform any actions on the web page like mouse clicking, entering text, pagination, etc. The motivation of using Extractor is to process large amount of web pages from the list of URLs.

Extractor uses URL provider to collect UTLs, sequentially loads them and captures the data. The source of the URLs can be: CSV/Text or Excel file, urls from the SQL Database, local web files, URL generator. More about URL providers you can read here.

The advantage of the Extractor is ability to process pages simultaneously. Also Extractor can track processed URLs and it is able to continue execution after an unexpected stop.
