Hi!

There are several threads about web scraping:

How to extract data from website using dynamic data scraping? - Help / Studio - UiPath Community Forum

My suggestion is to download UiPath Studio and UiExplorer and see what you can find.

It should be as easy as highlighting the total likes and adjusting the selector a bit to make it dynamic.

Hi Sven,

The information of like and comment not there in UI, it is only there in the inspect elemen on web. Like this : https://www.instagram.com/p/C14JJs3yHZ_

It is there in the UI.
Here I’ve used the UI explorer and gotten the selector for the number of likes:

However if you don’t want to do it via the UI you’ll have to do an httprequest to get the html information that you’re inspecting and the do some manipulation of the html with regex or some other means to extract it.
