I need to scrape all information for a list of light bulbs in multiple websites. This means accessing each of the 3 URLs provided below, scraping the initial landing page to get a list of sub URLs to loop through, and then automate the scraping on those pages. My idea is each URL would need to have its own workflow, which is fine.
My problem is, I cannot perform the initial data scrape to get the sub links for each light bulb/product on the primary URL landing page. . . I’m not sure if this just isn’t possible with these specific sites or if there is something wrong with my UiPath/data scraping wizard. I have un-/re-installed the extension on chrome and IE, restarted everything, and still have trouble getting this first dt of sub URLs.
Any ideas or fixes for this would be greatly appreciated!
@Shelby_Pons I have managed to Scrape the Data from the First Web Page, but the initial Step that i have done was Click on Show Details, then use Data Scraping on the Whole Row. I was able to get All 46 records, Can you try in that way and check if it works. I will send you the Workflow if you are not able to get data as I have to tidy the Workflow a bit.
Whenever I try to use the data scraping wizard on this website you used, i get this result:
No matter where I select (whole box with all text or just URL), it just returns the “whole” data table as one swimlane. Do you think this could this be an issue with my browser or similar?
Similar to issue I mentioned to Gulshiiyaa above, for some reason, when I use the data scraping wizard, it only pulls information from the first swimlane (only one item). I’ve selected the first piece of info (Item #) and the whole swimlane to see if it would allow me to click the second one and capture all of them. Also have used both Chrome and IE to try this. Do you have any advice on why this isn’t working?
Then next pop up message will come If you want to scrape multipule page click yes
And indicate Next button
Thats it
And one more point i want to Add here
After Finishing all the data scarp in property panel you can see maximum numberof result default it will 100 which means it will scrape only 100 data’s but if you want whole site data then you have to give 0 so it will fetch all the data belongs to that particular site
