Scraping data from a website that has no "next button"

Learning Hub

Hello,
i am trying to scrape data from a website that has no next button, it just has an arrow so if you click it, it will take you to the last page of data. There are 103 pages of data. I hope you guys understand what my my problem is, so if anyone has a solution to this problem that would be awesome.

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to forums

Try to get the selector of 1 & 2, If there in selector it is incrementing, then you declare a variable with counter → int and increment it, so it will click on the next tab whenever it increments

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hi again,
I am fairly new to this UiPath, so i can’t figure out how to solve this the way you suggested. How do i get the selector of 1 and 2. This is probably page 1 and 2 right?

Thank you

Place a click activity and indicate element towards 1st button

same as 2nd

Now edit selector of both and copy to a text file and share that

This website is e2grow.com and you need to be logged in to do that. If you click the arrow it will take you to the last page of the list thats why i’m having trouble.
