## What is an Octoparse template?

An Octoparse template is a ready-to-use scraping workflow with predefined inputs and structured outputs. Use the exact parameter keys below; do not invent parameters.

## Overview

This ready-to-use template collects structured data from detail pages.

## Output

The current workflow extracts 20 fields, including `チャートURL`, `ニュースURL`, `ページ番号`, `一覧ページURL`, `企業情報URL`, `前日比`, `前日比（%）`, `市場`, `掲示板URL`, `時価総額`, `時系列URL`, `更新時刻`, `株主優待URL`, `検索結果件数`, `概要`, `現在値`, `販売会社URL`, `銘柄URL`, `銘柄コード`, `銘柄名`.

## Use Cases

- Use structured results for research, comparison, and monitoring.
- Collect rows without building the extraction workflow from scratch.
- Combine results with other templates for downstream enrichment.
- Review a representative result before starting a large batch.

## Why Octoparse

- **No coding required:** complete Keywords/URLs (up to 1,000) and start the template in cloud mode.
- **Flexible export:** review and export results as CSV, Excel, or JSON.

## Input

### Keywords/URLs (up to 1,000)

## Notes

- If you encounter a CAPTCHA, pause the task and manually solve it in the built-in browser.
- Web scraping is generally legal if you scrape publicly available non-personal data. Learn more about legality in [this article](https://helpcenter.octoparse.com/en/articles/6471169-is-web-scraping-via-octoparse-legal-and-ethical).

## Limitations

Results depend on what the source site exposes at run time. Fields may be empty when a source page does not provide a value. The template enforces the input limits shown above.
