Wix Site - Proving Tricky

Hi
I have managed to get the urls that I need from the search results and I have set up a product page DATARECORD template and sub-extractors.

However, the problem seems to be that after the first product, the Wix widget does not load on subsequent product pages. I assume there is a setting but I have been unable to debug.

I have uploaded the SSS file - hopefully it will explain better my issue?

Thanks for your help here

Ajax 'Load More' button - Stumped

Hi
I am trying to scrape this site: https://www.littlermachinery.co.uk/stock/ and I understand that I have to use SetRequestEntity but I have no idea how this works (in laymans terms.)

I assume that I take the JSON at the bottom of the first page, use it to set the entity (although not sure how) and what happens after it is set?

Would I also need to work out the pagination from the {"page":1,"per_page":10,"total_rows":20,"total_pages":2} part?
Many thanks for your help here

Can't get past the Javascript

Hi
Trying to scrape these pages, but just come up against a JS script that I can't get past?
http://www.butterfieldplant.com/stock.php

It is not calling another file with json data, it is an old site That uses this script for a navbar and rollover functions or something odd?

The page works fine when I take it from the proxy. I am sure there is something simple that I have missed?

I just need to get past it to access the html.

I assume it is a cookie thing - never really had to work with them before.

Thanks for your help in advance

Beep when finished?

I know it's a silly question but how would I play a midi or mp3 file when the session completes? I'm using the SERVER via web browser and not the app itself.

Run Script triggered by Email?

Just curious what the simplest way to trigger running a screen-scraper session named "Example1" on a desktop computer running Windows 10 would be?

The session writes the output file to a shared directory on Onedrive, so the challenge is remotely starting the screen scraping session. I'm open to installing 3rd party apps if needed, whatever is the easiest.

Unable to scrape a details page - could it be cookie-related?

Hi

I am trying to scrape these products:
smvcommercials.co.uk/used-vehicles/page-1/default/-1/-1.aspx

This page returns fine and I can grab the product page URLS. The problem is that when SS attempts to read these pages they are blank. I have run a proxy transaction and there are some differences in the cookies and headers, but I am not sure what is important and how to set them (never encountered this issue before)

Thanks

Can't get the search data to appear

Hi
I am trying to scrape www.euroauctions.com but when I inspect the site in Chrome I can find the URL that provides the data for the search results, but cannot seem to get it to run on SS.

I keep getting 500 server errors.
This is the URL and it has 3 parameters: filters, page & node ID (although there appears to be two records in the filter parameter (auctionId and masterCategoryId)

I am hoping there is a straightforward solution to this problem as it looks (relatively) straightforward thereafter?

Thanks for any help you can let me have in advance.

I think I've got it. Deleted question.

Continuing scrape when using the memory conscious page iteration

Hi

I had a scrape running well, but I want to make some changes to it.

The site has added an extra level to it and I need to automate.

There is now:
1) a list of auctions with a link to each. This is dynamic and auctions expire and new ones get added. This page links to the individual auction listing pages (2) below) https://www.cva-auctions.co.uk/auctions/

2) Standard Listing page - I have the scraping of the productid/url sorted. As it uses an API I have been using the code below for pagination. https://www.cva-auctions.co.uk/stock?saleid=47
