Hey guys,
Pretty new to this but managed to scrape data from multiple sources.
This one is important for me.
I tried everything but on this website it won't allow me to select the data.
Can someone give me instructions or is it impossible on this website ?

Kind regards,
Hi,
The point-and-click will not work with this website since the elements are nested under an iframe.
Selector values will have to be created manually by inspecting the HTML source code.
See below a reference sitemap on how to target elements within an iframe:
{"_id":"sport","startUrl":["https://www.sport.vlaanderen/sporten-in-mijn-omgeving/vind-je-sportclub"],"selectors":[{"id":"name","parentSelectors":["element-wrapper"],"type":"SelectorText","selector":".title","multiple":false,"regex":""},{"id":"e-mail","parentSelectors":["element-wrapper"],"type":"SelectorText","selector":"li:has(.fa-envelope)","multiple":false,"regex":""},{"id":"element-wrapper","parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElement","selector":"iframe:iframe .c-fiche","multiple":true}]}
Alternatively, the iframe URL can be scraped directly:
https://www.sport.vlaanderen:443/SportDBPublic.Website/Organisatie/List?parenturl=www.sport.vlaanderen%2Fsporten-in-mijn-omgeving%2Fvind-je-sportclub
Thank you very much for that information but this is out of my league...
Is there a tutorial video for this particular subject ?
There are thousands of use cases for web scraping. Unfortunately, it is not possible to create a tutorial for every specific case.
