Why people use Octoparse

Octoparse for Automated Web Scraping & Data Extraction

This Connector changes that by putting the controls in your chat. You can tell your agent to start a scraper, check the status, and pull the results into your workspace in one go. You get to skip the dashboard entirely and move straight to the analysis.

Before you connect

Questions about Octoparse.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can I use Octoparse MCP to start scrapers automatically?

Yes, you can tell your agent to trigger any of your existing cloud tasks instantly. This removes the need to manually click buttons in the Octoparse dashboard.

How do I get the scraped data into my chat?

The Connector pulls the results directly from Octoparse into your conversation so you can see them immediately. You can then ask the agent to summarize, format, or analyze that data.

Can I check if my scrapers are still running?

You can ask the agent for the status of any specific task to see if it's active, finished, or pending. It provides real-time updates on your cloud tasks.

Does Octoparse MCP work with my current account?

Yes, it connects to your existing Premium Octoparse account using your API credentials. It works with the projects and tasks you have already set up.

Can I change the search URL without opening the dashboard?

Yes, the agent can update your task parameters like URLs or keywords on the fly. This is great for quickly pivoting your scraping targets.

Is it possible to clear my test data?

You can ask the agent to purge the data from a specific task to keep your production environment clean. It helps you keep your results organized and accurate.

Can I have my AI format the scraped JSON into a clean Markdown table?

Absolutely. Because Octoparse MCP connects natively via the get_task_data capability directly into the AI's isolated context window, the language model can instantly translate cumbersome JSON fields into polished, structured, and legible tabular outputs on demand.

Is it possible to track task progress percentage in the chat?

Yes. When you instruct your agent to run get_task_status, it fetches the real-time runtime progress metrics from Octoparse's cloud. You'll see whether it's Waiting, Running, or Completed, along with how many rows have been extracted so far.

Do I need a paid Octoparse plan for API capabilities to work?

Yes. Octoparse explicitly limits their Advanced Cloud APIs strictly to their paid subscription levels. A Free tier account will reject the authentication tokens when attempting to fetch the runtime data.

Can my AI automatically find the latest extracted data for a specific task?

Yes! Use the get_not_exported_data capability with the Task ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the newest records that haven't been marked as exported yet in seconds.

How do I find my Octoparse OpenAPI Access Token?

Log in to Octoparse, navigate to the OpenAPI section in your profile or developer portal, and follow the instructions to generate a Bearer token using your account credentials.

Can I start a scraper via the AI?

Absolutely. Use the start_task capability with your Task ID. The AI will command Octoparse to begin the extraction in the cloud immediately.
