Actions Actions List Start Processes

Starts one or more instances of Helium Scraper and attempts to find and run an actions tree called Main in the latest saved version of the current project. Like the Navigate URLs action, each of these instances will navigate through each of the URLs taken from the specified column in the specified table, right before running the Main actions tree. This action should be used in conjunction with the Connect to Database File feature in the database panel, so that all data is extracted to a shared database file.

The Max. Simultaneous Processes option indicates the maximum amount of Helium Scraper instances that can sun simultaneously. If the limit is reached, no more instances will be launched until one of the currently running instances finishes.

The Rotate Proxy option assigns an incrementing value to the --starting-proxy-index value, causing each instance to start with a new value taken from the proxy list. The proxy list can be found at Project -> Proxies in the main menu.

The Minimize, Auto-Save and Auto-Close options control the --minimize, --auto-save and --auto-close command line options.

For information on how to use the ID Column and use custom queries see the Navigate URLs action.
