Tools to extract URLs from paginated sites

The problem, in plain words: “I need to extract all URLs matching a specific pattern from a paginated website that requires login.”

Octoparse fits best, with 2 more that fit too.

You need a way to log in to a site, walk its paginated pages, and collect only URLs that match a given pattern.

What fits

Octoparsestrong · 92

Octoparse explicitly supports automating logins, pagination, and extracting links from rendered pages; its no-code workflows and cloud runner are focused on reliably collecting structured data from sites that require interaction and JavaScript rendering.

Best for: Users who want a turnkey, visual scraper that handles form logins, pagination and recurring extraction without writing custom code.

Crawlystrong · 85

Crawly is an API for fetching and parsing webpages and can return structured data and screenshots; it is aimed at developers and supports extracting links and metadata programmatically, making it suitable for authenticated, paginated crawls when you manage session cookies or tokens client-side.

Best for: Developers who want an API-first approach to fetch/render pages and extract links programmatically while handling authentication in code.

Data Extractor Prostrong · 80

Data Extractor Pro is a high-performance scraper API built for extracting structured data from dynamic, JavaScript-rendered sites at scale, which fits the need to handle authenticated sessions, pagination, and returning only URLs that match a pattern.

Best for: Teams or developers needing a scalable API that handles dynamic pages and returns clean JSON for downstream filtering.

Partly fits

SiteScooppartial · 66

A browser extension that auto-detects and exports data and supports auto-pagination while running locally, which can leverage your logged-in browser session to extract links without separate login handling.

Won’t cover: Runs locally in the browser and relies on your interactive session rather than an automated headless login flow for unattended scraping.

Website URL Crawlerpartial · 60

Focused on extracting links and crawl metadata from rendered pages, but positioned for SEO audits rather than authenticated scraping workflows.

Won’t cover: Built for site-structure audits and may not include built-in handling for programmatic logins or session persistence required for private pages.

Parsepartial · 58

Converts sites into structured APIs via natural-language instructions, which can simplify extraction but may not expose low-level session handling for complex auth flows.

Won’t cover: Oriented toward reverse-engineering page structure rather than explicit management of multi-step authentication flows or token-based APIs.

AIScraperPropartial · 56

No-code AI scraper that claims to extract structured data from pages and bypass anti-bot measures, but its documentation does not clearly emphasise multi-page authenticated crawl workflows.

Won’t cover: Positioned at single-URL extraction via plain-English prompts rather than orchestrating logged-in, paginated crawls at scale.
