Input parameters let you adjust your robot's behavior without creating new robots. You can modify URLs, search terms, and form fields to make your robots more versatile.

What are input parameters?

Input parameters are variables you can change each time you run your robot. They automatically appear when you:

  • Enter text in form fields during training

  • Use the Origin URL field

  • Fill out search boxes

Origin URL

The Origin URL parameter tells your robot which page to start from. You can change this to:

  • Extract data from different category pages

  • Monitor various product pages

  • Scan different sections of a website

Search terms

When you use a search box during training, that term becomes a parameter. This lets you:

  • Search for different products

  • Look up various keywords

  • Query multiple terms without creating new robots

Form fields

Any text you enter in forms during training becomes adjustable, allowing you to:

  • Update date ranges

  • Change locations

  • Modify filter criteria
