The Link Repeater command follows matching links until no eligible links remain or the repeat limit is reached. Use it for pagination where each page has a URL and XPath can select the links to process. Located under Browser in the command palette.
  1. Select the links to process with XPath.
  2. Choose how to handle missing, hidden, or disabled links.
  3. Set Repeat to When Exists or When New. For When New, choose the comparison attribute used to identify new links.
  4. Choose when to evaluate the loop condition and set a repeat limit if needed.

Repeater settings

  • Repeat: Selects the condition used for pagination. The default is When Exists.
    • When Exists: Continues processing while matching elements remain on the page. This is useful for paginated or dynamically loaded content where links are processed until none remain.
    • When New: Processes links when new content appears. Selecting this option makes Compare Attribute available so that new links can be identified by Text, URL, HTML, or another attribute; Text is the default.
Repeat behavior settings Compare Attribute setting for When New
  • Loop control: Determines when the repeat condition is evaluated. The default is Exit.
    • Exit: Evaluates the condition after child commands have run for the first time. If the condition is met, the loop ends without another iteration.
    • Entry: Evaluates the condition before child commands run. If the condition is not met, the loop does not start.
Loop control setting
  • Repeat limit: Sets the maximum number of loop iterations.
