# Build your first task

> Get started with Octoparse through short demo videos covering e-commerce scraping, pagination, and table extraction, plus step-by-step help guides.

New to Octoparse? These short demo videos walk through the features you will use most often, organized around three common scraping jobs: collecting products from an e-commerce site, moving through paginated results, and extracting tables. Each section pairs a video with links to step-by-step help center guides.

<Tip>
  Try [Auto-detect](/docs/en/platform/auto-detect) first — it builds a workflow for you on many sites. Reach for the [no-code builder](/docs/en/platform/no-code-builder) when you need more control.

## Scrape an e-commerce website

E-commerce scraping falls into two page types. **Listing pages** carry the basics — title, price, and URL for many products at once. **Detail pages** hold richer information such as full specs, descriptions, images, and reviews. You can scrape detail pages on their own, or chain them after a listing page to collect both.

## Move through pagination

Most sites split results across multiple pages. Octoparse handles the two most common patterns with a few settings.

**"Load more" button**

## Scrape a table

Tables arrange data in rows and columns. This demo shows how to extract one with a custom task.
