Navigating to next page in IE

[pawan]

I am stuck on an issue where I need help navigating or clicking on the next page button.

I have 2 webpages with search results. The first webpage has 10 items and the second 8 items.
From the first page I only want to process 3 of the items and get to the next page to process 4 more items. I used data scraping to extract the data to a datatable and am able to process the three required items on the first page. How can I navigate to the second page?

@pawan,

Check any arrow button or page number is there to navigate to next page.

If it is not there, then check URL for both pages and find it.

Pagination is supported by UiPath, but we don’t know how your web page looks like (and if there is pagination after all).

Check out:

Pagination number instead of arrow or next button

Thanks priyanka.

Move to next page in data scraping

Hi I want to scrap multiple pages of a website but the next button is not available. I tried and many more topics but still unable to find the solution. What tried is: first method: Used a do-while loop. scraped the data of the first page. then click on next page using aaname=* check for element exists for next page. next page exists = true in while condition. In this case, it scraps the first page then move to the second page and again come back to the first page. It got stuck in the loo…

Yes arrow button is there.

@pawan,

Then indicate that arrow button to navigate to the next page in Data Scraping. After scrapped the data it will ask for you want to scrape all pages then click yes to indicate navigate button. With this you indicate that arrow button.

I am able to do data scraping completely fine and get the output in a data table.

Steps that I have to follow:

1. Scrape data in a data table. (total 18 rows)
2. Come back to first page and click 3 items (out of 10) on the first page and do some processing.
3. Once this is done I have to go to the second page and process 4 (out of 8) items from the page.

The issue like I mentioned is navigating to the next page. I am able to solve it using counters and when the count reaches 10 it will click on the next page button.

Why would you do that? Divide the load. Have one workflow that retrieves the URL of each entry. Store said URL in a transaction. Use an workflow to do the heavy lifting, i.e. visiting each URL, extracting and manipulating data, and so on (alternatively, store the entire row’s result in the transaction instead of an URL).

You can do all of this in a single workflow on a single robot, but it’s sub-optimal. Using queues and transactions allows you to split the load between more than just a single robot.
