Data Scraping when the search result changes from rows to Columns format & Vice-Versa dynamically

Help

Hey,
I am trying to scrape some data from Amazon using data scraping. Basically, i have a list of products in my excel. i need to go to amazon,search for each product,collect the name & url for each of the search results,then open each result by navigating to the scraped url & finally get some data for that particular product. its pretty straight forward. I am done with all these steps,already.

My problem is when i am searching for a product lets say, “t shirts for women” with categories set to All…The search results appears in rows something like this:

But then,when i am searching for the next product, lets say; apple watch series 3…The result comes in column format…Like this:

2%20Columns

so, you see when i am trying data scraping; it works only either one of them. I need a way to scrape the data no matter how the search result format is. any ideas will be highly appreciated!!

Thanks a ton in advance!!

In the foundation course, it is clearly explained the data scraping works if the search data has a similar pattern.

In your case you have two patterns. I suggest you to record both patterns and create two workflows; one for each pattern.

Get the selector for element that is unique for one pattern. Use Element Exists activity. Based on the element found, trigger the matched pattern workflow.
