The `follow` config option allows you to specify a list of CSS selectors that determine which links the scraper should follow.

When no value is provided the scraper will follow all links found with the `a[href]` selector.

```javascript {filename="Configuration"}
export const config = {
  url: "http://example.com/",
  follow: [
    ".pagination > a[href]",
    ".nav a[href]",
  ],
  // ...
};
```

## Following non `href` attributes

For special cases where the link is not to be found in the `href`, you specify a selector with a different ending attribute.

```javascript {filename="Configuration"}
export const config = {
  url: "http://example.com/",
  follow: [
    ".articles > div[data-url]",
  ],
  // ...
};
```
