This is the main table, the first column is a link which expands further to
http://www.indiavotes.com/pc/info/16/0
I need to click on export csv and save it in a folder(default or otherwise), also each PC Name value can further be clicked to find more details about each candidate as below

Can anyone help me understand which components i can use to create the scraping workflow

Hi @ramakrishna1592,

For example if first column need to be click one by one and each of them should be take some date u should scrape only first column with data. When you got already years then in loop use scraped data. For every year you need to use click activity and put in the selector variable where will be year.

  1. Scrap column year
  2. Use scraped years in loop
  3. In body use click activity to go to (here you should use variable with year)

http://www.indiavotes.com/pc/info/16/0

then again use click activity “export csv” then again in the same body loop click activity on “PC” to open:

http://www.indiavotes.com/pc/detail/7767/61/16

(u can do the same operation like before with years if you need use all the kind of “PC”) scrape needed element or use click activity depend what you need on this step. End last step in this process i go back to main page with years and loop start again.

Regards.
