Hi,
As the selector of stars contains the aaname which indicates the rating of the star . so you can get it by using Get attribute activity.

Thanks Uthraa,

I cant seem to get those values from the stars, it is however pulling up a word from the same line.

i will try again and see if i can get it right.

is that a public website?

No, private, have to login with username and password

Hi,
Can you share the selectors ? . Try to get the selectors of the stars in Ui Explorer.

Thanks.

Hi @zahpat

As mentioned by @Uthraa previously, you can use Get Attribute activity with this particular selector and

parentclass

as the name of the attribute you want to get. The activity should return light-green as output :slight_smile:

Thanks @loginerror, i tried exactly that but the output returned is blank.

You could still try different combination of properties. For example, try to use only these for your selector:
title
tag
parentid

and remove the css-selector

Please also try the Scraping Wizard, it might be able to find some relevant text with the Full Text option.

i select those tags mentioned and i still get a blank response.

i also tried screen scraping full text and it doesnt pick up anything from where the stars are.

is there another way to pull out the underlined value on the screenshot

Try removing the class=“green” from the last line and set attr=“class” in the first line.
