⚡ Enlightening Questions

❓ How to Get Results for My Queries?

1. Visit http://localhost:3000 and enter your search queries.

2. Now, simply press the Run button.

❓ What are the different pages and how do they help me?

Primarily, there are 3 pages in the UI Dashboard:

• Home Page ('/')
• Output Page ('/output')
• Results Page ('/output/1')

Home Page ('/')

You can input your queries here and search by:

• List of queries

• Scrape data for a specific type of business across all cities in a country.

• Scrape Reviews

Kindly note that due to privacy concerns, we do not scrape personally identifiable information of reviewers, such as names, profile photos, and review links. We only scrape the review text, rating, owner response, and similar non-personally identifiable information.

Output Page ('/output')

The Output page helps you manage your tasks. You can use it to:

• See tasks and their status (pending, in progress, or completed).

• Abort or delete any task.

• Additionally, Whenever you run a query, a task named "All Task" will be created for it, which combines results from multiple queries.

For example, if you search for "Web Developers in Bangalore" and "Web Developers in Mumbai", the "All Task" will show you the combined results for both queries.

Results Page ('/output/1')

This is the most important page where you can view, sort, filter, or download the results of the task.

Sorting

You can also sort by other criteria, such as name or reviews.

Filters

To find the exact results you're looking for, click the "Show Filters" button and apply the desired filters.

Export

Download results in various formats (CSV, JSON, Excel) using the export button.
