The Databar Chrome Extension v3 is a complete redesign built around a sidebar-based interface. Instead of a small popup that disappears when you interact with the page, the extension stays open alongside your browsing — giving you more screen real estate and a persistent workspace for selecting and extracting data.

Key features

The extension opens as a sidebar panel pinned to the right side of your browser window. It remains visible and interactive while you browse, scroll, and click on the page — no more losing your selection when the popup closes.

Sub-element extraction

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

Watch mode

Turn on Watch mode and the extension automatically captures new elements as they appear on the page — whether from infinite scrolling, pagination, or dynamic content loading. This eliminates the need to manually re-select elements after each page change.

Simplified authentication

The extension automatically detects any active Databar session in your browser, so you no longer need to manually enter your API key. If you prefer, API key authentication is still available as an alternative in the sidebar settings.

Smart CSV downloads

Exported CSV files use a descriptive naming format: {Page Title} | {Site Name} | {Date}.csv, making it easy to identify files later.

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

1

Install the extension

Install the Databar extension from the Chrome Web Store. After installation, click the Databar icon in your browser toolbar to open the sidebar.
2

Navigate to a page with data

Open any webpage that contains the data you want to collect — product listings, search results, directories, or any structured content.
3

Add fields

Click Add Field in the sidebar, then click on elements on the page to select them. Each selected element becomes a column in your extracted dataset.

4

Extract sub-elements

For container elements like cards or listings, click the Layers button to drill into nested sub-elements. Pick the specific data points you want and add them as child fields.
5

Export your data

Download the extracted data as a CSV file, or click the Databar button to send it directly to your Databar workspace as a new table.

Additional features

  • Cancel button — exit selection mode at any time without losing your existing selections.
  • Custom tooltips — all buttons display tooltips on hover. Toggle buttons show their current state (e.g., “Watch mode: ON”).
  • Reorganized results pageDownload CSV and Databar buttons are prominently placed in the results header for quick access.
  • Duplicate column handling — if two selected elements produce the same header, the second is automatically renamed (e.g., “Name (2)”) to avoid conflicts.

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.
