USE CASE:

The page discovery question for the investor relations section

The job on this page is page discovery for the investor relations section, with the options first, ours included, and the recommendation at the end. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Page Finder Extractor is the one that does this for the investor relations section.

What is actually going wrong

Page discovery for the investor relations section looks like the easy case and is not. The investor relations section sits at no fixed URL, because there is no convention and never was one, and page discovery inherits that. Worth knowing about the investor relations section, since page discovery inherits it: guessing the path works often enough to look reliable and fails silently when it does not. Page Finder Extractor carries 3 ready made setups for page discovery on the investor relations section.

Why it matters

There is no convention for where the investor relations section lives, so guessing the path works often enough to look reliable and fails silently when it does not.

Traditional Search Tools

  • A site search operator, for the investor relations section. 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.
