ParseHub proxy setup
About this tool
ParseHub is a visual desktop web scraping tool that uses a graphical command tree to extract structured data from complex, JavaScript-driven websites. ParseHub is a visual web scraping tool for selecting website content and turning it into data. It is intended for users who want to define a collection task through a graphical workflow rather than write a custom scraper. Configure network access according to the version and task environment in use.
Key capabilities
Graphical command tree & dynamic interaction: Builds scraping workflows with point-and-click selections, conditional branches, loops, regular expressions, form inputs, and infinite scroll handling across multi-level pages.
- Visual content selection：ParseHub defines extraction flows through visual selections and commands in a desktop application. It handles pagination, forms, dropdowns and JavaScript interactions, with conditions, expressions, selectors and regular expressions available for more precise extraction.
- Graphical collection workflows：Projects turn text, attributes and tables into datasets that can be exported or accessed through REST APIs. Scheduling and execution options depend on the plan, linking visual task design with repeated data delivery.
Where it fits
For product collection, define navigation from a list to detail pages, select fields and compare results across several pages. Confirm which execution environment receives the proxy settings and inspect actual runs rather than checking only the local browser used to design the project.
- Structured data exports & REST API access: Converts page text, attributes, URLs, and tables into clean CSV, Excel, or JSON datasets, with a REST API for programmatic run control and data retrieval.
- Supports custom proxy configuration within project settings; pairing with Datacenter proxies is recommended for reliable, high-speed pagination across public directory and catalog sites.
