Open Google Chrome
Go to a domain/platform of your choice (e.g: ebay.co.uk).
Note: See all the domains supported by Cyborg here.
Search for any keyword(s) (e.g: “gucci bag”).
Click the Cyborg Icon on the right side of the screen — you’ll see the Cyborg side panel.
In the Cyborg side panel, you can select multiple listings at once using the checkboxes beside each item. If a listing has already been scraped, it will display a “Scraped” badge:

Open the Metadata tab (optional)
Note: In the Metadata tab, you can assign tags and labels to the selected posts. When the listings are scraped into Zeal, they will automatically include the tags and labels you applied.
Click Scrape Posts
Note: You can also click Send Minimal to scrape limited data without a screenshot. This method is recommended for platforms or domains that are difficult to navigate or scrape (e.g., Taobao, Tmall, JD).
Cyborg will open each listing one by one to scrape it. Please avoid using Google Chrome during this process to prevent crashes or interruptions.
A toaster notification will show up at the bottom of the page once all listings have been successfully scraped:
