Complete Node Action Library Guide

BrowseAct provides a comprehensive node operation library where each node supports natural language descriptions, letting you focus on business logic rather than technical details:

Notice: All nodes, including input, click, pagination, and scroll, are limited to elements contained within the current page.

📋 Input Parameters

Description: Define parameter variables required for workflow execution

  • Use Cases: Search keywords, target URLs, login credentials
  • Smart Features: Parameter reuse and automatic type recognition
  • Configuration Example:

SearchKeyword: women swimwear
TargetURL: https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers/...

🌐 Visit Page

Description: Intelligently navigate to specified webpage and wait for complete loading

  • Natural Language: Visit {{TargetURL}} and wait for page to fully load or type "/" to select parameters
  • Smart Features: Automatically handles region selection and cookie popups
  • Exception Handling: Auto-retry when page loading fails
  • Best Practice: Built-in page integrity verification

⌨️ Input Text

Description: Intelligently input text content into page input fields

  • Natural Language: Enter "SearchKeyword" in search box or type "/" to select parameters
  • Smart Features: Auto-detect input fields and clear existing content
  • Use Cases: Search queries, form filling, filter conditions
  • Human-like Design: Simulates realistic user typing speed

🖱️ Click Element

Description: Intelligently identify and click page elements

  • Natural Language: Click orange search button to submit search or Press search icon to execute search
  • Smart Recognition: Auto-locate elements based on color, text, and position
  • Exception Handling: Intelligent handling when elements are not visible
  • Fault Tolerance: Supports multiple alternative positioning method

📜 Scroll Page

Description: Intelligently scroll pages to trigger data loading and expand AI's visual understanding area

  • Primary Functions:
    • Load More Data: Triggers lazy-loaded content and infinite scroll mechanisms
    • Expand Visibility: Brings hidden elements into the viewport for AI recognition
  • Natural Language: Scroll to load more products until 15+ items are visible or
    Scroll down to product grid bottom section
  • Smart Control: Automatically detects page loading status and viewport changes
  • AI Enhancement: Critical for AI page understanding as it relies on visible content area
  • Use Cases: Control scroll pages, lazy-loaded content, bringing target elements into view

📄 Pagination

Description: Navigate between pages by clicking pagination controls

  • Core Function: Pure navigation - clicks pagination buttons to move between pages
  • Navigation Methods: Supports "Next page" and "Previous page" buttons
  • Smart Detection: Auto-identifies pagination elements and available page options
  • Boundary Recognition: Detects when no more pages are available to prevent infinite navigation
  • Note: This node only handles page navigation - combine with Extract Data nodes for data collection

📊 Extract Data

Description: Core node for extracting structured data from entire web pages

  • Extraction Scope:
    • Full Page Coverage: Extracts data from the entire webpage, including content outside the visible area
    • Loaded Content Only: Cannot extract lazy-loaded or async content until it's loaded into the DOM
    • Pre-loading Required: Use Scroll Page or other nodes to load content before extraction
  • Data Field Definition:

Extract the following fields from each product card:
- Product Name: Full product title including brand and description
- Brand: Extract brand name

  • Collection Range Control:

Only collect products that are clearly women's swimwear (bikinis, one-pieces, bathing suits)
Skip accessories like goggles, towels, or cover-ups

  • Data Processing Features:
    • Format Conversion: Transform data formats (e.g., convert relative time to absolute time)
    • Smart Recognition: Automatically identifies product types and filters irrelevant items
    • Data Validation: Ensures accuracy and completeness of extracted data

🔄 Loop

Description: Repeatedly execute a defined sub-workflow within the loop container

  • Core Function:
    • Sub-workflow Execution: Runs the workflow steps defined inside the loop node repeatedly
    • Container Logic: All nodes placed within the loop will be executed in each iteration
  • Loop Control:

Maximum Iterations: 3 pages
Stop Condition: When /product_limit qualifying products are found
Continue Condition: If current page has < target quantity, continue

  • Smart Decision Making: Dynamically adjusts loop strategy based on page content and defined conditions
  • Performance Optimization: Prevents ineffective loops and improves scraping efficiency by monitoring execution results

💾 Finish - Output Data

Description: Organize and output final scraping results

  • Data Formatting: Auto-cleaning, deduplication, and sorting
  • Output Options: Multiple format support including CSV, JSON
  • File Naming: Smart timestamp naming rules
  • Quality Assurance: Final data integrity verification
