Can anyone help me on how to get the attribute from a class on a website? I am trying to webscrape the href of an element from a website, but the visible elements do not have the href, as the href is kept in a class that holds all the visible elements.
Can you please show snapshot from uiexplorer for this element?
usually, you should be able to get the value of an attribute by usung get attribute and specifying the name of the attribute.
for e..g “aria-disabled”
indicate the element in ui explorer and check in the right top and left bottom windows if required values are there. If yes then those properties can be retrieved via get attribute
sometimes few inner elements might have it use left top window to explore inner elements
cheers
This is the uiexplorer for the website - https://unleashnfts.com/explore/overview.
I want to scrap the href in the </> A
if you see href is present but it shows the relative path
also if you look in left down there is a url property as well
cheers
Yeah. The href for this element shows but the href for the next </> A do not have their href among the selected items. is there any way that I can solve this while also using a for each ui element for the task. Thanks Anil.
I will appreciate becoming your mentee hehe
If you scroll down in left bottom property explorer, I think there is a property which has the whole url.
Can you please check which property name is that?
You should be able to use the same to get url
Thanks but that is the url of the current page. I want the link to the second page without opening it (href). in addition, how can I open a new tab without closing the current page? Thanks
Do you see a part of the url which refers to current page and which changes when you move to next page?
If yes, u can fetch url property and replace a part of it to include href in that url and hit it to navigate to second page
The href box need not be selected to retrieve the value of it…any property /attribute can be retrieved irrespective of it being selected or not ..the only thing is the property should be present for that selector
The selection is to make your selector dynamic and unique for that field but not to have the value of each attribute in selector
Cheers
If you want to extract the href from a class that contains it as an attribute (not directly in <a> tag).
UiPath Steps (Short):
- Use ‘Open Browser’ or ‘Use Application/Browser’.
- Use ‘Get Attribute’ activity:
- Target: The element/class that contains the
href(use UI Explorer to indicate it). - Attribute:
"href"or any custom attribute like"data-href"depending on how it’s stored.
