I have tried multiple times to scrape the websites, but I couldn’t find the “Multiple Type” option in the Text. Since this button is missing, I’m unable to scrape multiple pieces of data from a single page, and I also can’t figure out why I’m failing to scrape the next page. Could you let me know when this function will be available again, and how I can download and use the old version in the meantime?
Hi,
Currently, the feature has been deprecated, but the same output can still be achieved using an alternative method.
To have the items as separate records, first select the attribute elements using an Element selector, which can be set as 'Multiple', and then create the Element Attribute selector as a child selector to the Element (scroll) selector with the configuration 'first record only'.
Here is a generic example for reference:
{"_id":"webscraper-mutilple","startUrl":["https://webscraper.io/"],"selectors":[{"elementLimit":0,"id":"element","multiple":true,"parentSelectors":["_root"],"scroll":false,"selector":"a.menuitm","type":"SelectorElement"},{"extractAttribute":"href","id":"att","multiple":false,"multipleType":"singleColumn","parentSelectors":["element"],"selector":"_parent_","type":"SelectorElementAttribute"}]}
