USE CASE:
The demo booking page: page discovery without the guesswork
Read this if you need page discovery for the demo booking page and you would rather see the real options than a pitch. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so Page Finder Extractor is something you run yourself against your own list of the demo booking page.
The problem
Page discovery for the demo booking page one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. The demo booking page sits at no fixed URL, because there is no convention and never was one, which shapes page discovery. Worth knowing about the demo booking page, since page discovery inherits it: guessing the path works often enough to look reliable and fails silently when it does not. There is 1 runnable example of page discovery for the demo booking page below.
Traditional Search Tools
- A site search operator, for the demo booking page. Free, precise, and rate limited into uselessness past twenty companies.
- Google with a site operator. Free and precise. Fine for twenty companies, and rate limited into uselessness past that.
- Screaming Frog. Crawls a whole site and finds every page matching a pattern. Built for one site at a time rather than a list of hundreds.
- Guessing the URL. Try slash pricing. It works surprisingly often and fails silently, which is the problem.
- Search the site. A site search in Google with the term you want gets you there in one query per company. Reliable, and it is still one query per company.
