# Load More Data

## What is 'Load More Data'?

This feature automatically loads additional data that isn't shown on the current page yet, so you can extract it hands-free too.

Use it on pages where more data appears only as you scroll down, or where additional items show up after you click a 'Next Page' or 'Show More' button. When you turn on this option while using Extract Part or page address selection, the browser will first load the data using the option you choose, and then run the extraction.

***

## How to Use

{% step %}

### Select the area to extract

Click Extract Part or page address selection, then choose the area you want to scrape. Once your selection is done, the **'Load More Data' option at the bottom of the side panel becomes available** and ready to toggle on.

### Choose how data is loaded

Choose how data is loaded, based on how additional data appears on the page.

1. **Scroll**\
   Use this on pages where new data keeps appearing as you scroll down. Listly scrolls down the page for you to load more data.
2. **'Show More' button&#x20;**<mark style="color:$success;">**(Coming soon!)**</mark>\
   Use this on pages where new items appear when you click a 'Show More' button.
3. **Button·page number&#x20;**<mark style="color:$success;">**(Coming soon!)**</mark>\
   Use this on pages where you move to the next list by clicking a 'Next' button or a page number.

*<mark style="color:$danger;">Currently, we support the</mark> <mark style="color:$danger;"></mark><mark style="color:$danger;">**Scroll**</mark> <mark style="color:$danger;"></mark><mark style="color:$danger;">option, with more coming soon.</mark>*

Once you set the method that fits the page and run the extraction, Listly continues collecting your selected items while loading more data.&#x20;

Currently, the Scroll method is available. Support for the "Show More" button and page navigation methods is coming soon.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.listly.io/getting-started/extension-features/load-more-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
