Octoparse supports scraping 98% of all websites, including those with Ajax, java scripts and other dynamic websites. It is also easy to interact with forms, drop-down lists, infinitive scrolling and many more in Octoparse.

As a rule of thumb, any data/information that can be copied and pasted from any websites can be scraped using Octoparse. More specifically, if the target data is found within the HTML source code of the website (even not visible on the webpage), then it can be scraped using Octoparse.

Octoparse can help you extract:

1. Text

2. Image URL

3. Links

4. Inner/Outer HTML code

5. Any information hidden in the source code
