New version is out (grab it here). The big addition: RTILA can now listen to a site’s background API calls and build your extraction steps automatically, so you don’t have to hand-write selectors for messy DOM structures.
What’s new
- Live API interception. Turn it on and RTILA captures XHR/Fetch JSON responses as the page loads. No setup.
- Auto-generated datasets. On empty projects, it reads the intercepted payloads, finds object arrays, and generates your nested datasets plus extraction commands on the spot.
- In-page HUD. A small overlay on the target page shows what’s happening (“Scanning traffic…”, “Dataset built”) and lets you pick which JSON paths to use if there are multiple arrays.
- Pagination detection. It spots offset, page, cursor, and token-based pagination params, then asks whether you want a full multi-page crawl or just one page.
- Execution hardening. Better proxy handling, fallbacks for un-paginated requests, and more reliable DOM-settling before scraping.
If you’re scraping API-heavy sites, this should cut your setup time way down. Update and give it a try.
