What it does

Extract Page Content gathers text from the current page and can include cleaned HTML, links, and metadata.

Use it when you need a page-level snapshot for summarization, archiving, or downstream processing.

Use it when

  • Extract article or page body text.
  • Collect links and metadata from a page.
  • Feed page text into an AI, Template, or file output step.

Do not use it when

  • You need one selector value; use Extract Text.
  • You need repeated rows; use Extract Data.
  • You need visual proof; use Screenshot or Create PDF.

The page text is empty.

Check
Check whether content rendered after the Block ran.
Fix
Add Wait For Element before extracting page content.

The output is too large.

Check
Check configured text, HTML, and link limits.

Lower limits or disable fields you do not need.

Local and cloud runs

Local and cloud runtimes both return page-level content. Optional fields and truncation are controlled by the Block settings.
