WebScraper suddenly stops working on Booksy — anyone else?

How to?
#1

Hi everyone,
I’ve been scraping Booksy with WebScraper for months without any issues, but suddenly it just stopped working. The last time I did it was last month.

Now when I try to start the scrape, the page opens and immediately closes before extracting anything. I’ve tested this on different browsers and different computers, and the same thing happens every time.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Has WebScraper had any recent updates or changes? Any insight would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Please post your sitemap.

Well, the sitemap does not work because the Next_Page and Negocio_Individual selectors do not match any elements on the website. The website probably has an updated layout. Try checking all selectors with 'Element preview'.
