Linkedin Data Scrapping Issue

[Vivekanand_Joshi]

Hello,

I want information about the LinkedIn connections i.e information from my connections. eg: Name , Phone number, Position , Birthdate. At the start I am able to scrap the data but after 2-3 times repeating the same it does not scrap the data. Could anyone tell me what the issue is. Is it due to selectors if yes then how can I fix that I tried to fix this using wildcards but that is not working. I need assistance regarding this issue ASAP.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi @Vivekanand_Joshi - Check Selectors for more than value and identify the difference between the selector. Select the unique value which makes the selector to work for all the data.

LinkedIn Data Scrapping issue resolved (maybe) :D

Hello All, I as a recruiter have been trying to create a workflow to search potential candidates on LinkedIn and get them added to my network. Data scrapping on LinkedIn was not really working properly for me. When i tried to find 100 candidates it just returned with a list of 5 in the 1st attempt and none in the attempts after that. I was able to find a turn around to make my life easier. I have attached my workflow for your review. Can someone please help me test it and maybe make it more fa…

Cheers

Hello Sir,

Thank you so much for your early response.

Just a question how to edit the selector of the attached browser during data-scrapping.

Please check my workflow.

Hello Sir,

As per the workflow the selector of data scrapping is changing and needs to be fixed. When I first run the robot I see the data in excel but when I do it twice the data do not show up in excel. I am attaching the screenshot

Thanks and Regards

Yes, we can change. Perform an action that Scrap the first and then Scrap the second page, see what is getting changed for both the pages in selector. Then we can pass the changed part as a variable in selector.

Hello Sir,

I have tried it actually and I understood you what you are trying to say. But that way is also not working. I am not scrapping data on pagination. I am scrolling the page and the scrapping the data. I tried comparing the selectors of 2 pages but that did not work.

If you have tried could you please give me your datascrapping workflow

Thanks
