The Origin URL is the web address where your robot begins its task.

The Origin URL is the starting web address where your robot begins extracting data. When you adjust this URL, you can use the same robot across multiple similar pages without creating new robots.

How to use Origin URLs

  1. When training a robot, enter the first URL you want to extract data from

  2. Browse AI automatically sets this as the default Origin URL

  3. To extract data from a different page with the same layout:

    • Open your robot settings
