Infinite scroll down: skip N first results

How to?
#1

Describe the problem.
There're 3,000 results in a webpage and I'd like to skip the first N results

What command should i add to the selector?
"selector":"a.mn-connection-card__link"

Sitemap:
{"_id":"prueba","startUrl":["https://www.xxxx.com/xxxx/"],"selectors":[{"id":"names","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["contacto-link"],"selector":"li.inline","multiple":false,"regex":"","delay":0},{"id":"contacto-v2","type":"SelectorElementScroll","parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":"div.mn-connection-card","multiple":true,"delay":0},{"id":"contacto-link","type":"SelectorLink","parentSelectors":["contacto-v2"],"selector":"a.mn-connection-card__link","multiple":false,"delay":0}]}

Thanks

You can try either an nth-child or nth-of-type selector, e.g. to get result #123 onwards, try

div.mn-connection-card:nth-of-type(n+123)

Hi leemeng, thanks for the link!

I studied that link + another few posts where you had replied:
(i) Limit Infinite Scroll
(ii) Extracting first n elements on page with infinite data

In my case I had to add the limit BEFORE the div – no idea why
"selector":"li:nth-of-type(n+0):nth-of-type(-n+10000) div.mn-connection-card"

It has taken 3 hours to understand!!! It got me crazy!

Thanks for your help. You helped me a lot!!

My bad on the initial post, it should be 'nth-of-type(n+123)` in that example (no minus).

Your selector seems redundant. The one below should do it:
li:nth-of-type(-n+10000) div.mn-connection-card

That would get all rows from 1-10000. If you wanted to get row 1234-8000, it would look something like:

li:nth-of-type(n+1234):nth-of-type(-n+8000) div.mn-connection-card

Yup - you're totally right.

I amended the limits and it's working perfectly.

Thanks a lot, bro!
