I am trying to go through a webpage and copy the URL into a CSV file. For example, I would want to open up a webpage, such as Google, type in a keyword, such as “Jacket,” then go into each link, copy the URL, paste it into a data table, go back to the previous screen and do the same process for all of the links on this page.
I would also need to go to the next page by clicking the arrow at the bottom and do this for either a specific number of pages or until there are no more pages.
Is this something that can be done? I would love if someone could share a .xaml file that would do this so that I can learn how it can be completed. I have tried a few different ways, but haven’t been able to get it to work on my own.
I have gone through that, but I can’t find the right section which teaches this. Do you happen to have an example of a workflow which has this functionality?
The functionality you describe is very close to what the Data Scraping wizard does, so you should definitely look into it (there is a lot of threads about this particular option on the forum).
You can:
First open your browser using Open Browser activity
Use Data Scraping wizard to extract the information from 1 or more pages
The output from the wizard will be a Data Table. It can be saved to a file with a Write Range activity.
