Hi @Vira7

Welcome to UiPath Forum!

Effectively, the error here is that to use data scraping you must have a collection of data, as in Amazon, you have a list of results, that way the pattern is identified and you can extract the information in a massive way, in this case you only have a single item, a single person, so it does not work, if the portal would show you on a single screen more than one person it would be possible to do it.

If you are doing it to practice this functionality, I recommend you to do it on Amazon, if on the other hand you want to get a list of fake data, I see that the portal offers this option at the top “Order in Bulk”.

I hope this is helpful, best regards!

@Vira7,

Welcome to the UiPath Community

Please use modern activities for these. Extract individually like this solution. This will give you 10 random names extracted from the site. you can change max iteration count of While as per your requirement.

Sample Code:
Workflow.xaml (18.5 KB)

Output File:
Output.xlsx (8.4 KB)

Thanks,
