    hello in my case i wanted to make sure if the plugin can do this
    homepage -> click on an item -> 2nd page click on another item
    then scrape the 3rd page
    is this possible?

    Hi, thanks for contacting us. We didn’t get your requirement exactly. Can you please explain with example?

    Also, please check this to know how Scraper plugin works – https://support.wpbots.net/documentation/create-a-task-on-scraper/

    sometimes the content i want to scrape can be 2 pages deep meaning i need 2 clicks before reaching the content needed
    https://vostfrserie.biz/category/series/
    take this for example if i need to scrape all the episodes i will need 2 serial scrapings one for the series and one for all the episodes in the series
    or if i need to get only the last ep i will still need the 2 clicks
    get it ?

    Hi, unfortunately that is not possible via Scraper plugin. You’ll need to create separate task for each of the series (you can create one and then clone it).

    that would require more than 4000 tasks and keep checking everytime if one is added which is very hard to do just keep it in mind in future releases

    The tasks can be scheduled to run at specific intervals automatically. But there is no alternative to adding tasks for each series.
