Hi guys,
I am new at RPA(Uipath). I have an issue regarding data scraping, can some body please help me out.

I want to scrap data from an website, i have set MaxNoOfResults to 1000, but i am able to extract only max 300 results and browser is displaying issue “Access denied” at some point, after continuing some page. Browser is visiting all most all the pages but extracting only around 300 data.
i have set Properties:
DelayBetweenPagesMS to 10000
MaxNumberOfResults to 1000
i have used WriteCSV and IE browser for extracting data.

Please do suggest me something.

Hi @Sasmita

My suggestion is that number of MaxNoOfResults set on 0. Secend try different browser like chrome or firefox. Remember that you need to install addon to chrome or firefox.

Let know if works.

Greetings!

I have a semi related problem. Enough that I didn’t want to start a new topic.

I’m testing against a web page we create. I don’t know the grid component we use to create it. If I set MaxNumberOfResults to 0 or a really large number, I watch the process run, skip all the pages just fine, and then fail. The ExtractDataTable variable and the result data variable (scrapingExample, in my case) are empty. So when it goes to write it out to a CSV, it fails due to it being empty. (Hmm. that’s another question. Should WriteCSV fail on empty?)

However, if I put a value into MaxNumberOfResults that is less than the total number of actual rows, then it works just fine. I don’t know why?? Is this a known bug? Is it due to being against some jquery type grid?

To compare, I did do a scraping example as was shown in the video about getting data from Amazon and that worked just fine with the MaxNumberOfResults set to 0.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
