Data scraping multiple pages not working

Help
1

My robot only scrapes the first page of a search result. I have pointed to the “Next” arrow but it does not work. This is my “NextLinkSelector” value: “”
The data scraping wizard made that…

This is the site im trying to scrape: findsmiley.dk/Sider/Search.aspx?k=jensen
This is the next arrow: image

How can I debug this?

Hi,

Does the robot click it the arrow? Or it doesn’t even click the next arrow?

use this for next selector:
<webctrl id='PageLinkNext' tag='A' />

Thanks. I tried your solution but it did not work. The bot only scrapes the first page and does not click the arrow.

did you try that selector alone in a simple click? maybe it cant click when not visible?

Hi.

I started from scratch and now it goes to page 2 BUT it still does not scrape the date fraom page 2, 3 ect…

This is the sequence: Sequence.xaml (9.8 KB)

Is there any values im missing or something? In the inputbox I search for “hansen” (without ") as that gives several of pages. Note that it saves the csv files in a folder named “Rapporter”

Well i dont think it is you, something is wrong and it is preventing it from going further than page 2… i would remove the next link selector and create a loop with the manual click to next page myself put a try catch to stop when it dont find the next it will be over…
