Extract Table data from Youtube [SOLVED by ChatGPT]

[Ciprian_Amarandei]

Hi, I’m new using UiPath Studio.
As I was following a tutorial from Anders Jensen on Youtube called “. Table Extraction With Infinite Scrolling In UiPath - Full Tutorial”, I am stuck at minute 5 when I use the Table Extraction to get the titles of the youtube videos. When I select the first video title, the extractor wizard correctly finds the other video titles, the selected text is empty. If I create the second column by extracting the URL from the 1st column, the URL is correct.
Is this a known issue? Do I have to dig deeper and make more manual adjustments on Extract metadata property? I already tried to modify it looking with devtools but I have no luck.
The problem is on every search result on youtube.
Can someone try extracting the title from the youtube results and explain it how to make it work correctly?
I am using UiPath Studio cummunity edition, latest version v24.10.8
Thanks !

Could you please share more on the error specific details?

I don’t get an error, just is not the expected behavior.
If the data extracted is null, there should be an error in my opinion
Can you use Table Extraction to get the titles of the youtube videos? Try it yourself with “Use App/Browser” and “Extract Data Table” activity

I think the issue is the value is not getting displayed as expected.

Let me check

I tried from my side for google as i dont have access to youtube

It is working fine as expected

Could you please take a blank project and start with extract data table. No need of explicitely using Use Browser. Ideally it works without any issue. Make sure than you are capturing the headers properly

[Ciprian_Amarandei]

Thanks for the reply. For Google works, any other random sites works, but not Youtube

[sharazkm32 (Sharaz K M)]

For me - Youtube is also working as expected. Kindly check

I can’t tell if you manages to get the title also.
On youtube I can get the other info like: views, channel name, URL, but not the title. Can you check that please?
What browser are you using?
I am using Chrome
Many thanks

Problem solved.
ChatGPT helped me on this one.
I had to modify the “Extract metadata” property and specify that the video title should be getting the text from the attribute ‘title’ instead of the default anchor tag <a></a>
So from
<column exact='1' name='Column0' attr='fulltext'>
I changed it to:
<column exact='1' name='Column0' attr='title'>

I don’t know which one is greatest: UiPath or ChatGPT?
Many thanks,
Have agood day
