When to pick which
Section titled “When to pick which”- Need article data from one specific website? A dedicated Actor for that site may return fields its markup doesn’t include.
- Need the same fields from many different websites with one input format? A structured-data extractor such as Article Scraper avoids maintaining a scraper per site.
