How to receive leads via E-mail automatically?

How many AI Scraper jobs can run at the same time?

Currently, only 5 AI Scraper jobs can run simultaneously. If you have more jobs, they will queue and start automatically once a slot is free.

What should I do if discovery all URLs or sitemaps do not return any data (character count = 0)?

Try using Manual mode and add a few links to see if they work. If successful, you can continue using Manual mode. For websites with complex structures, also try Manual mode with the Advanced Scraper type.

What happens if the scraper gets blocked while accessing a website?

Some websites block automated requests, which may prevent scraping. To fix this, the customer must whitelist our IP addresses:

  • 167.71.15.186
  • 142.93.231.157

Whitelisting these IPs allows our scraper to access the website without being blocked or hitting rate limits. We use only these two fixed IP addresses for scraping.

Why does AI Scraper sometimes not return data even though the URL is correct?

his may happen if:

  • The content is loaded dynamically via JavaScript and not accessible with the selected scraper type.
  • Your website has security measures like firewalls or bot protection.
  • The CSS selectors or inclusion/exclusion rules are incorrect.

Solution: Use Advanced Scraper, double-check CSS selectors, and ensure required URLs are included.

Can I scrape only specific languages on multilingual sites?

Yes. Limit scraping to one language per site to avoid duplicate information. For example, set the site name to Customer FI if scraping Finnish pages only.

Which scraper type should I use?

Basic: Always try first—it’s less resource-intensive.

Advanced: Use if Basic doesn’t return results.
