# Extract Data Item Node

> A specific child node for Loop List that captures data fields from the currently focused list item.

Overview

Extract Data Item is a specialized child node designed for use inside a [Loop List](/learn/basics/node-types/loop-list-node). It extracts specified fields from the currently focused single list item and compiles these fields into structured data.

**Use Cases**

* Extracting "Name, Price, Image, Rating" fields for each product in a product list.
* Extracting "Title, Summary, Date, Likes" information in a post list.
* Extracting "Job Title, Company, Location, Salary Range" in a job list.

**Core Capabilities**

* Batch extracts multiple fields from the current list item.
* Supports filling unified placeholder values (e.g., None) for missing fields.
* Supports filtering criteria configuration to keep only data meeting specific conditions (e.g., posted within the last N days).

**Configuration Steps**

1. Add an **Extract Data Item** node inside a [**Loop List**](/learn/basics/node-types/loop-list-node).
2. Configure **Data Fields** prompts to clearly describe the fields to extract, for example:
   * "Extract from current job item: Job Title, Company Name, Post Date, Salary Range. If missing, fill N/A."
3. (Optional) Configure **Filtering Criteria**, for example:
   * "Only keep jobs posted within the last 3 days."
4. Upon execution, Loop List runs Extract Data Item for each list item and aggregates the data into a table/dataset.

**Recommendations**

* It is best to configure only one Extract Data Item node per Loop List to maintain a clear structure.
* Clearer field descriptions lead to more stable extraction results; state field names and meanings clearly.
* If the page structure is complex, consider splitting into multiple [Loop List](/learn/basics/node-types/loop-list-node) + Extract Data Item sets to extract by region.
