We haven't removed the Clay website scraper. It's still available as part of our Chrome Extension. Here's how you can access it: 1. Visit the Chrome Web Store and download the Clay extension. 2. Pin the extension to your toolbar for easy access. 3. Use the extension to scrape any website for your lists. If you're having trouble accessing or using the scraper, try reinstalling the extension. For more detailed guidance, we have a step-by-step tutorial on using the Clay Chrome Extension for web scraping.

Maxim K.··how can I scrape different pages on the same website automatically?
To automatically scrape different pages on the same website using our Chrome extension, you can create a recipe for individual pages: 1. Open the Clay Chrome Extension on one of the pages you want to scrape. 2. Click "Select Data to Add from Page" and choose "Select a Single Attribute". 3. Map the attributes you want to extract (e.g., company name, website, social profiles). 4. Adjust the URL Matching to apply the recipe across similar pages: • Replace specific parts of the URL with a variable (e.g., /biz/:businessName). This method allows the recipe to automatically match and scrape data from pages with the same structure but different content.

could you elaborate this point "4. Adjust the URL Matching to apply the recipe across similar pages: • Replace specific parts of the URL with a variable (e.g., /biz/:businessName)." in more detail?
Sure, I can explain how to adjust URL Matching in our Chrome Extension to apply a scraping recipe across similar pages: 1. When creating your recipe, look for the URL Matching section. 2. Identify the part of the URL that changes for different pages (e.g., business names). 3. Replace that part with a variable, like :businessName. 4. For example, if you're scraping pages like: • example.com/biz/lilia-brooklyn • example.com/biz/bakeri-brooklyn • You'd set the URL pattern as: example.com/biz/:businessName This allows the recipe to automatically match and scrape data from pages with the same structure but different content.
