Auto Detection
The auto-detection engine scans the page and automatically identifies scrapeable data structures, saving you time on common page layouts. Instead of picking elements one by one, let the extension find the data for you.
How to use it
1
Open the side panel
Navigate to the page you want to scrape and open the extension.
2
Click "Auto Detect"
The extension scans the DOM for repeating patterns and structured data.

Review suggested fields
Fields are automatically created with smart names based on context. You can rename, remove, or add more fields.
What it detects
- HTML tables — standard table elements with headers and rows. Column headers are used as field names.
- Lists — ordered and unordered lists with consistent item structure.
- Grid layouts — CSS grid and flexbox repeating patterns like product cards, job listings, and search results.
- Card layouts — repeated div structures with similar child elements (titles, images, prices, etc.).
Smart field naming
The extension analyzes each detected field and assigns a meaningful name based on context:
- Elements containing currency symbols are labeled as "Price"
- Large headings are labeled as "Title" or "Name"
- Image elements are labeled as "Image"
- Links are labeled as "URL"
- Longer text blocks are labeled as "Description"
Auto detection works best on pages with repeating, structured content like product listings, directories, and search results. You can always fine-tune the results using the element picker.
