# Octoparse
[**Octoparse**](https://www.octoparse.com/) is a data extraction tool. It allows you to scrape public data without coding and bypass most anti-scraping mechanisms by enabling automatic IP rotation and extended session time.
To integrate Octoparse with Oxylabs [**Dedicated ISP Proxies**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service) you've purchased through self-service, follow the simple steps below:
**Step 1.** [**Download**](https://www.octoparse.com/download/mac), install, and then open Octoparse.
**Step 2.** Create a new task by clicking the **+New** button in the top-left corner, and choosing **Custom Task.**
**Step 3.** Type the URL of the webpage you intend to extract data from in the **URL Input** and click the **Save** button. We'll use [**Oxylabs scraping sandbox**](https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/products/category/pc) as an example.
**Step 4.** After your selected URL loads, go to **Task Settings** **>** **Anti-blocking**.
**Step 5.** Now, check **Access websites via proxies**, enable **Use my own proxies,** and click **Configure**.
**Step 6.** When you click on the **Configure** button, a pop-up window will appear. Specify proxy details in the following format: `IP/host:port:username:password`.
For **Dedicated ISP Proxies**, you can use:
**IP/host**: `disp.oxylabs.io`
**Port**: `8001`
**Username:** `user-USERNAME`
**Password:** `PASSWORD`
{% hint style="success" %}
The port number indicates which IP address from your acquired [proxy list](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-list) will be used. Use port `8000` for automatic [proxy IP rotation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-rotation).
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to add the `user-` part to your username.
{% endhint %}
**Step 7.** Set up the **Switch** interval depending on whether you're using static IPs or a proxy rotator.
**Step 8.** Save changes by clicking the **Confirm** button and after that, click **Save**.
Proxies are now set up.
### How to start scraping using Octoparse
**Step 1.** Select the desirable elements (video game titles) you want to scrape. To extract all elements from the same category, choose **Select all similar elements** and specify **Text**.
**Step 2.** Set up pagination to scrape multiple pages. This particular website uses numbered pages, prompting you to choose **Next page button**.
**Step 3.** Choose the exact button in the page layout that opens the following page – **Forward** – to automate pagination.
**Step 4.** Complete the scraping setup and press **▶Run**.
**Step 5.** Choose **Run on your device** with **Standard Mode** to receive data as a file on your PC.
**Step 6.** Let the scraping process run until complete. The process will be over when the final product page is reached or when you stop it manually.
**Step 7.** Extract the collected data and select the file format.
Here's the final result in a spreadsheet.
That’s it – you are all set up and ready to focus on your web scraping tasks with Octoparse.
