Extract Data from Yelp with Octoparse

Step 1: Input the Yelp website URL to build a web crawler

You can do this by simple copy-and-paste. Give it a few seconds. Octoparse will detect the webpage data automatically. Once the detection is done, you can see data fields highlighted in red. This means that all the highlighted data is preselected by the bot.

Step 2: Check the pagination setting and the data preview

Usually, the pagination button is auto-detected, and you can check its position. But if that’s not the case, you can easily select the button manually by clicking on “edit” on the Tips panel and confirm your selection.

There is a data preview section below that allows you to preview your data at the bottom and choose how you’d like the data to appear. For example, you can edit the names of the data fields, change the sequence or delete them.
