Release Week Day 2: Native Infinite Scrolling Support

Welcome to Day 2 of ScrapeGraphAI Release Week. Yesterday we delivered 8x faster performance. Today, we're solving one of web scraping's most persistent challenges: infinite scrolling. The Infinite Scroll Dilemma You know the scenario all too well. You're trying to scrape valuable data from modern websites, but they use infinite scrolling to load content dynamically:

Social media feeds that reveal new posts as you scroll E-commerce listings with thousands of products loaded progressively Product reviews that appear only when you reach the bottom of the page News feeds that continuously load more articles Search results that expand with each scroll action

Until now, extracting this data required complex workarounds, brittle automation scripts, and countless hours of maintenance. The traditional approach forced developers into a painful cycle of headless browser hacks, viewport manipulation, and prayer that the next site update wouldn't break everything. The Seamless Solution ScrapeGraphAI now natively handles infinite scrolling. This isn't just an incremental improvement—it's a complete paradigm shift. Here's how simple it is:

python

from scrapegraph_py import Client
from scrapegraph_py.logger import sgai_logger

sgai_logger.set_logging(level="INFO")

# Initialize the client
sgai_client = Client(api_key="your sgai api key")

# Define URLs
urls = [
  "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies"
]

# SmartScraper request with infinite scrolling
response = sgai_client.smartscraper(
    website_url="https://www.ycombinator.com/companies",
    user_prompt="extract the company infos",
    number_of_scrolls=10
)

That's it. No complex configurations, no scroll timing parameters, no viewport management. Just natural language describing what you want to extract, plus a simple number_of_scrolls parameter to control how deep you want to go. Behind the scenes, our AI:

Automatically detects infinite scroll behavior Intelligently scrolls through the entire page content Extracts data continuously as new content loads Structures the output in clean, organized formats Handles edge cases like slow loading, failed requests, and content variations
