Hidden Screaming Frog Magic: Scrape ANY Data from a Page Using Custom Extraction!

Okay folks, here's one of my all-time favorite Screaming Frog SEO tricks that feels like unlocking a secret level:

  1. Go to Custom > Extraction
  2. Add an XPath like: //script[@type='application/ld+json']
  3. Boom — now you're pulling structured data like FAQs, breadcrumbs, product schema, even review ratings! ⭐

Why this rocks:

  • Works like a charm on eComm sites for scraping prices, availability, or brand
  • Super handy for SEO audits where schema is hiding inside <script> tags
  • You can even combine it with regex to extract just what you need 🎯

Seriously, it turns Screaming Frog into a mini data scraper.

Try it out and let me know what sneaky use cases you find!
