We proudly give you our best version of Mozenda yet. You asked, and we listened. So without further ado, here's a rundown of our recently released features. Enjoy!
Capacity, capacity, capacity
Here at Mozenda, we just threw open the floodgates. Before now, some scraping jobs may have been queued on high-volume, high-traffic sites. Now you can assign and run several agents at the same time on those types of websites. Go ahead, have at it.
Load a page, any page
The new load page action lets you load any webpage from anywhere within an agent. For example, in the middle of an agent, you might need to load a web page without using a Click Item action. Now you can just insert a Load Page action and specify a URL. This can be helpful when, for instance, you need to be logged in to a website before your agent can perform subsequent actions.
To scrape, or not to scrape -- Anonymous
Although running agents using anonymous proxies isn't new to some Mozenda users, we thought we'd let you know how recent improvements in our anonymous data extraction can affect your web scraping capabilities. See details.
More value from your values
Now you can use the values that you've captured as variables in your agent. You can use these variables to set a user input, addend a URL, load a page (see previous paragraph), etc.
All together now
We're really excited about our new image/file publishing capabilities. If you build an agent that downloads files or images, then you will see a new checkbox (see image below) in the Publish dialogue that says, "Publish image and file packages". If you check this box, all images (for the view you select) will be published along with your data, on the schedule that you choose.
Takes all kinds
Mozenda will now automatically detect which version of Internet Explorer your Windows machine is running (typically 7 or 8). Once the version is determined, Mozenda will designate a server that is optimized for your individual scraping needs.
I think I hear my API calling
