🎯 Advanced Usage

Patreon Query Language (PQL)

[ <COMMAND>: | # | @ ] [ <NAME> | <ID> | <KEYWORD> | <URL> ] [ /<SECTION> ]

• 👉 Not all data points can be accessed using a URL.
• 👉 Use QUERY for more control over what to scrape.
• 👉 Think of this as a SHORTCUT

Possible Query Values

Why use a QUERY parameter instead of URL?

Using QUERY instead of URL gives you more flexibility and clarity when scraping. While a full URL points to a specific page, a query typically represents a search term, filter, or dynamic input used to generate results on a site. Many modern websites—especially those with search or filter functions—construct pages dynamically based on queries, not fixed URLs.

By using QUERY, you :

• Focus on what data you want, not where it lives.
• Allow the Actor to build the right URL internally.
• Enable batch operations on multiple queries more easily.
• Support non-URL-based inputs, like keywords, IDs, or product names.

In short, QUERY is often more intuitive and powerful when you're scraping based on intent rather than specific page addresses.
