Troubleshooting

Unable to click anything in the toolbar of the extension

In case you are using an external monitor, make sure that only one Chrome browser instance is open at a time.

Unable to select element or selected element text appears as an empty field

Some website elements have a few border boxes wrapped around them, so make sure to hover directly over the text you wish to extract.

Unable to see the data selector

If you cannot see the element selector box, restart your Chrome browser fully and re-open the extension.

After opening the page and clicking on the Start scraping button, unable to see the bottom toolbar

Refresh the page and wait for it to load fully. Only after the page is fully loaded will the scraper start.
