# Scraper

The **Scraper** tool allows you to extract and convert the contents of a web page into markdown format.

Scraper is great for gathering content from web resources to gain insights for your business.

## Configure

To configure the Scraper tool, you simply need to copy and paste the webpage URL that you would like to extract the content from into the URL field of the step.
