Search The JARVEE Knowledge Base
Publishing quality contents regularly is a good way to encourage engagement on your account. But curating contents could be challenging and there are moments when you just run dry of ideas. To make it easier, Jarvee includes several options on how you can add a post on your Campaigns.
And one of the easiest ways that you can use to get content that you can publish using a campaign, is the SCRAPE POSTS option.
Where is the Scrape Posts feature?
The Scrape Posts is an option available for Standard and Volume Campaigns only. To start using this feature, click on your Campaign > go to What To Publish tab > click SCRAPE POSTS sub-tab.
From here, you can choose to scrape from 4 sources:
- Pinterest Source
- Twitter Source
- Facebook Source
- Linkedin Source
Pinterest Source
If you want to scrape from Pinterest, click on Add Pinterest Source button and a new window will appear. On this window, you need to add the source URL where Jarvee will search for posts.
Start Scraping from Pinterest Source:
- URL, # Posts and #Errors column
- You can select the Pinterest account that will be used to extract posts. That said, if you don’t have any Valid Pinterest account in your Social Profiles, you will not be able to extract posts from Pinterest.
- When you start the scrape action, you can see the #Posts extracted; this will get updated each time Jarvee does a scrape action
- The #Errors that occurred during scrape action will also be visible there

- You can either input your own caption or choose to use any of the supported tokens – [DESCRIPTION], [URL], [SOURCEURL], [TITLE] and it will be replaced by the corresponding post detail
- For Source URL template, you can either put your own URL or you can use the [SOURCEURL] to use the source URL used by the owner of posts you scraped
- The Filters column
- You can narrow down the posts you want to scrape by using filters.
- Either scrape posts that have that certain keyword OR skip posts that have a negative keyword
- Aside from filtering via keywords, you may also indicate your preferred image width and height.
- Moreover, you can scrape posts that have a minimum and a maximum number of repins.
- The Settings column
- Use the fast extraction method to ignore filters; the caption will be ignored as well

Twitter Source
For scraping posts from Twitter, just click the Add Twitter Source button and add a valid Twitter Source URL in the designated box.
Start Scraping from Twitter Source:
There is just a slight difference with regards to the filtering options when scraping from a Twitter source.
Apart from filtering based on keywords, image ‘width and height’, ‘minimum and maximum number of Retweets’, you can further narrow the search based on the age of the tweet and you can choose to skip retweets.
Facebook Source
While you can use the Share Post option of the campaign to share posts from a Facebook Page, you can also extract posts using the Scrape Posts feature.
The Scrape Posts option provides a wider selection for mining contents from Facebook. You can scrape posts from your account wall, friend’s wall, a page, group or albums. To start, just click on the Add Facebook Source button.
Start Scraping from Facebook Source:
The scraping process and parameters are the same as that of Pinterest and Twitter, while the difference is that for Facebook, you can filter the minimum and the maximum number of likes for a post and how many days has it been since it was posted.
LinkedIn Source
The Scrape Posts from LinkedIn allows you to scrape posts from your feed, LinkedIn pages, groups, and LinkedIn walls. To start, just click on the Add LinkedIn Source button.
Start Scraping from LinkedIn Source:
LinkedIn’s filters are the least among the four sources: enter your keywords to be included or excluded, and the image’s minimum width and maximum height.
Note that each time you add a source URL, 5 example posts are extracted and sent to the Drafts tab. You have the option to send extracted posts directly to the Posts List tab should you prefer it that way.
Also, the extraction will work only if the campaign is Started
