# Get data with XPath — HTML Parser

Botize method — `btzhtmlparser.xpath` (action).

Extracts specific information from HTML documents, such as text, images, or links, using the XPath query language.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `html_source` *(string, one of: "URL" = HTML document URL; "STRING" = HTML string, default: "URL")*
- `url` *(string)*
- `html_string` *(string)*

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `counter_*`, `tagname_*`, `tagtype_*`, `tagtitle_*`, `pattern_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{_status}}` *(text)* — _status
