How does Action Template work?
The Action Template is a feature that simulates mouse clicks or keyboard events, helping you automate interactions with an HTML document, such as mouse and keyboard events, once the setup is complete.
Why does it matter?
First things first, most websites contain a large amount of data and display it using pagination, which is a web design technique that splits content across multiple pages. In some cases, you might not be able to scrape data from a website that (1) doesn't update the URL or (2) automatically redirects you to its first landing page, even when you try to navigate to another page or to perform certain actions. This is where Action Templates come in!
Then, how does it work?
Listly offers Action Templates to help users deal with pagination in web scraping. In most cases, pagination falls into one of the four categories below. If you're trying to scrape data from a web page that uses one of the following methods, check out this guide for more detailed instructions.
