Welcome to the UiPath Community @elucinator!

You can first try to use the Data scraping wizard from UiPath studio, that eill help to extract the structured data all at once. You can click on Data scraping wizard, click on next, select the first thumbnail then again click on next, then select the second thumbnail. This will help UiPath to understand the pattern amd extract all the thumbnails in that page.

Once scrapped, you will have the data in a datatable. Store the output of that scraping in a datatable.

Then you can use a For Each loop to iterate through all the elements that you extracted.

Hope this helps! Happy learning!
