New in October, a bag of Halloween goodies

# Changes to Steps

# Optional click

We have added the ability to set clicks as optional. Instead of throwing an error, axiom will click the element if present, and continue if not.

# Web scraper

We've made numerous scraper improvements to increase the number of pages we support and to improve general consistency and speed.

Most notably, Axiom will no longer scroll all the way to the bottom of the page before scraping, which allows us to scrape all data from pages that unload content when the screen scrolls below a certain point.

Successfully scraped data is now also highlighted orange, so you can see what's being grabbed as you go.

# Minor bug fixes

  • Remove words step now correctly removes no results when no words are given, instead of removing all
  • Improved error messaging when attempting to access bad URLs
  • Fixed issues where the UI would get stuck if the network connection to the backend was lost during saving
  • Added rename operation to the javascript API
