Infinite Scroll Detector - Free Tool | ManyPI

Infinite Scroll Detector

Identify infinite scrolling mechanisms on web pages. Find the pagination triggers and next-page APIs needed to scrape deep content.

Solve pagination headaches

Pagination is one of the trickiest parts of web scraping. While numbered links ("1, 2, Next") are easy to follow, infinite scrolling and "Load More" buttons require user interaction. This detector helps you identify which type of pagination a site uses so you can choose the right tool for the job.

Detect "Load More" Triggers

Often, infinite scroll isn't fully automatic; it requires a click on a "Load More" button. Scanning specifically for these elements allows you to program your scraper to target and click them, ensuring you reach the bottom of the feed.

Library Identification

We check for common infinite scroll libraries like infinite-scroll, react-infinite-scroller, and vue-infinite-loading. Knowing the underlying technology can help you find workarounds or hooks to trigger the loading event programmatically.
