The Databar Chrome Extension lets you collect structured data from any website without writing code. Open the sidebar, click on the elements you want, and export the results as a CSV or send them straight to your Databar workspace.

​

How it works

The extension opens as a persistent sidebar pinned to the right side of your browser. It stays visible while you browse, scroll, and interact with the page, giving you a full workspace for selecting and organizing your data.

1. Click on any element on the page to select it
2. The extension automatically detects similar elements across the page
3. Review and refine your selections in the sidebar
4. Export to CSV or send directly to Databar

Key features

​

Link extraction

While in selection mode, press L on your keyboard to enable link extraction. The extension will grab both the visible text of the element you select and its underlying hyperlink as a separate column. This is especially useful for collecting directories, search results, or any list where you need both the label and the URL it points to.

​

Sub-element extraction

Select a container element (such as a product card or search result) and click the Layers button to reveal all extractable sub-elements inside it. Pick specific data points like title, price, rating, or image URL and add them as child fields grouped with their parent container.

​

Watch mode

Watch mode monitors the page for new elements and automatically adds them to your dataset as they appear. This is ideal for page-based pagination: click to the next page and Watch mode picks up the new items without you having to re-select anything. It also works when new content loads dynamically on the same page.

​

Auto-scroll

Auto-scroll automatically scrolls the page for you, capturing elements as it goes. Combined with Watch mode, this handles infinite-scroll pages end to end: the extension scrolls, detects new elements, and adds them to your list automatically.

​

Smart detection

When you select an element, the extension identifies similar elements across the entire page automatically. One click can capture dozens of matching records.

​

CSS selector preview

A preview box displays the CSS selector being used for each selected element, giving you visibility into exactly what the extension is targeting.

​

Google Sheets import

When you navigate to a Google Sheets page, the extension switches to a dedicated import view. Copy a range of cells (including headers) and import them directly into Databar via the clipboard.

Getting started

​

Additional details

• Authentication is automatic. The extension detects your active Databar session, so no API key entry is needed. API key authentication is available as an alternative in the sidebar settings.
• CSV file naming uses a descriptive format: {Page Title} | {Site Name} | {Date}.csv for easy identification.
• Duplicate column handling automatically renames columns when two selected elements produce the same header (e.g., “Name (2)”).
• Cancel button lets you exit selection mode at any time without losing your existing selections.

​

After extracting

Once your data is in Databar, you can enrich it using any of Databar’s enrichments: verify emails, look up company data, find social profiles, and more. The extracted table works exactly like any other Databar table.
