Retrieve innerHTML of a content area
Extracting rich text for offline analysis
A richly formatted article body with nested HTML elements.
Datasets define what to extract and from which repeating containers.
A property can be text, HTML, an attribute, a count, or many other types.
Extraction happens sequentially after all page interactions complete.

The html extraction type returns the serialized inner HTML of an
element, preserving tags and structure that the plain text type would discard.
