Exhibitor Details

How to?
#1

Greetings,

I have been casually scraping exhibition websites, in order to gather all information and prepare my visits accordingly.

The exhibition i have been struggling to scrape this year is the following:

This year they adjusted the layout and it acts strictly as an element, previous years it was with exhibitor profile links list, which was way easier to scrape.

I have tried multiple ways but the only scraping I manage to do is from the initial list only and the different Alphabet links using the pagination tool.

I cannot manage to get it into the hover details button page which contains contact details, description of exhibitor - catalogue links and rest info.

Those are the crucial info i need, i have tried multiple ways with element click tool, pagination tool, nothing seems to work...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is very important for my work..

Best regards,

Hi,

Here is an example for how to click through the listings:

{"_id":"medica-tradefair","startUrl":["https://www.medica-tradefair.com/vis/v1/en/directory/a"],"selectors":[{"clickActionType":"real","clickElementSelector":".directory__result-list-item:nth-of-type(-n+5) .teaser-row__details","clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueCSSSelector","clickType":"clickOnce","delay":0,"discardInitialElements":"discard-when-click-element-exists","id":"click_details","multiple":true,"parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":".modal-window","type":"SelectorElementClick"},{"id":"email","multiple":false,"multipleType":"singleColumn","parentSelectors":["click_details"],"regex":"","selector":"div.exh-contact__email","type":"SelectorText"},{"clickActionType":"real","clickElementSelector":".title-bar-close-btn div","clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueText","clickType":"clickOnce","delay":0,"discardInitialElements":"do-not-discard","id":"close","multiple":true,"parentSelectors":["click_details"],"selector":"_parent_","type":"SelectorElementClick"}]}

I have limited the click to the first 5 listings for testing purposes, you can remove .directory__result-list-item:nth-of-type(-n+5) from the click selector to scrape the whole list.
