Skip resources that do not help your research

Keep recurring page requests focused by blocking resource patterns that add noise or slow a source capture without helping the question.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Block specific URLs during scraping

This tool allows users to block specific urls during the scraping process. it's particularly useful for blocking unwanted resources like analytics scripts, advertisements, or any other urls that might interfere with the scraping process or slow it down. it provides granular control by allowing users to specify url patterns to block, thereby improving scraping performance and maintaining privacy.

Why this helps

Unnecessary page resources add delay and noise to an already busy research workflow.

  • Blocks selected resource URL patterns during scraping.
  • Focuses recurring requests on useful page content.
  • Can reduce interference from irrelevant resources.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Opoint and Scrape.do to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create a recurring automation in the portal or ask Notis to set up a lean page fetch.
  • 3Write one instruction naming the public pages and the specific resource URL patterns to block, such as known analytics or advertising assets.
  • 4Choose a Notis cron trigger and the channel for run reports.
  • 5Test one page and confirm that blocking those patterns leaves the needed content intact.

Questions about this workflow

What should be blocked?

Only name resource patterns that are unnecessary for the research result, such as known analytics or advertising URLs.

Could blocking a pattern remove useful content?

It can if the pattern also serves page content. Test each rule against the source before relying on it.
