Element Click Selector - Load a "specific" number of times

How to?
#1

Is it possible to make the Element Click Selector click a specific number of times?

I see that you can have it "Click Once". Or, I can have it "Click more" until no new elements appear.

I want to do a scrape with maybe 8 or 10 clicks on the "Show more" button. Is there a work-around on this? Or is this a feature that would need to be programmed into the scraper at some future date.

Can you link your site so I can understand better

Thanks. Here is the site: https://untappd.com/CerveceriaPacheco

I would like to be able to click on the "Show More" button maybe 8 times and then scrape the necessary data from that set.

Currently, I can only figure out a way to either load the "Show More" button 1 time or all times and then scrape.

Hi!

You can add multiple Element Click Selectors, set them to single click with different delay time.

Here's an example:
{"_id":"untappd","startUrl":["https://untappd.com/CerveceriaPacheco"],"selectors":[{"id":"Click","type":"SelectorElementClick","selector":"_parent_","parentSelectors":["group"],"multiple":false,"delay":"2000","clickElementSelector":"a.yellow","clickType":"clickOnce","discardInitialElements":false,"clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueText"},{"id":"blabla","type":"SelectorText","selector":"a.time","parentSelectors":["Click"],"multiple":true,"regex":"","delay":""},{"id":"Click2","type":"SelectorElementClick","selector":"_parent_","parentSelectors":["group"],"multiple":false,"delay":"4000","clickElementSelector":"a.yellow","clickType":"clickOnce","discardInitialElements":false,"clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueText"},{"id":"group","type":"SelectorElement","selector":"div.box.activity div.content","parentSelectors":["_root"],"multiple":true,"delay":0}]}

It will click 2 times. You can add more, logic is pretty simple.
