Hover over
Updated over a week ago

It is not unusual that you may need to hover on a page element to have some data shown on the webpage. In this tutorial, we will show you how to extract data that appears on hover in Octoparse.


STEP 1. Hover on the target element, click on it, and then select Hover on the selected element on the Tips panel.


STEP 2. A Hover on action will be generated and added to the workflow with an AJAX Timeout of 5s by default.

STEP 3. Select and extract data that appears on the hover

Hover on the page element again or click the Hover on action in the workflow if the data's no longer showing. When the data appears in the built-in browser, click on the data you want to capture and select Text on the Tips panel.
