A fantastic video that has been invaluable for our newcomers. We greatly appreciate your generosity in sharing it!

[@valentinthalmann361]

Hey all :) I found out that sometimes the script gets confused about the website_url because there are two aria labels with the "website" tag - one in the list of the companies and one in the side tile. This could result in displaying a striped square and only the word "Website". To fix this, right-click the website row > customize field > select other fields > href. It won't change the preview, but by running the loop, it will only take the URLs. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's a problem with the two elements.

[@youngpark5286]

I am facing to the same issue for placeid, website, phone number. Do you know how to solve this? and I am not sure how to get lat and long too.

[@thegundamkingr]

Thanks for sharing this tip, you're a star

[@minhvuongluu7644]

thank you for the tutorial, very helpful. Is there any way to capture the plus code and the popular time (for example in a Restaurant or supermarket ,

[@pabloalbuquerque5805]

yeah, its not "freemium", its "paidmium"

[@Ilydamian_p]

I've been using it without payment

[@yoericktv9610]

Thanks a lot François. Really appreciate your efforts. Just in time.

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

You are welcome. See you in 2025.

[@paololigori]

Great as always. Is there a way to automate the tasks? for example lets say i want to use this same flow for every city of a state, is there a way in octoparse to do it? thanks

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Technically speaking, yes. But you have to scrape your cities beforehand.

[@matinshoon]

This was an amazing tutorial, thank you!

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Thank you ;)

[@phoenixgaming231]

Sir can we use the same xpath fir the difference locations @francoisfromctoprad

[@AkshayDeoke]

Why this has to be so difficult and such a steep learning curve. I follwed your video but page scrolling thing didnt work.

[@alaasoufiani6471]

Merci pour le tuto François ! Bonne continuation

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

No problem. Je vous remercie.

[@DCVisuals974]

Salut François, Une question. Quand tu obtiens tes 120 leads, comment fais-tu pour générer les leads suivants après le 120 eme ? Merci

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Salut, Tu ne peux pas obtenir plus de 120 leads à la fois avec cette méthode. La seule façon de faire serait de segmenter la recherche.

How about scraping some reviews for each business? reviews based on a specific rating (worse and best)? how to achieve that?

[@DiegoNovello86]

Hi, my Titles is going wrong, its getting Sponsered, a think google changed something. Title: (//div[@role="main" and @aria-label]//h1)[last()] Could you help how identify the new path?

[@youngpark5286]

thanks for the amazing video, somehow I do not get website and phone number. but your xpath worked with the xpath helper.

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

You can try with the "point & click" method instead.

[@bungaazizah2802]

Hi, thankyou for sharing. But I think I followed all the steps and still can’t scrape a data. I think there’s something wrong with the scroll xpath, but I already watched your xpath tutorial and use many tools to find the right xpath, still it just doesn’t working out. Do you have any idea about this?

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Hi, If you can't scrape a data, maybe the problem is coming from the loop item and not from the scroll.

[@IamTechAlchemist]

Hi Francois, Thank you very much for this video😊, i would like to ask is this method possible without xpath, with only pointing and clicking.

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Hi, Of course , it is possible ;) But it will be more likely that there is an error. And the accuracy will be lower.

[@IamTechAlchemist]

Can you make a video on it please if possible

[@rezekihomemart5823]

Everything works fine except phone number. Whats wrong with it?

[@highhopes4845]

Is there a way to scrap data from a map within a website? Like real estate listings? Thank you for your useful content 🙏❤

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

It depends on the website. But I would rather say "yes".

[@topfoodlind260]

How can I export locations codes plus from my map to Excel?

[@chankk6038]

Hi, why is the data extracted stop at the 7th row? it should have more rows..

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Hi, It is likely because the scrolling process doesn't work in your case.

[@imtime22]

Thank you

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

You are welcome.

[@garymoore1288]

the xpath for the loop item doesn't seem to work for me, could it have changed? Also when I try clicking it only seems to return the result I click (only one A in the list)

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Did you run your task? It is the most concrete way to indentify a potentiel mistake.

[@deborahhudareal]

thank you

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

No problem.

I am trying to scrape latitude and longitude from items in the side-scroll. Everything is working well, but many of the latitude and longitude items that I retrieve from the URL are matching, even though the locations are different. When I check Google Maps, and click on the various results of a search, the latitude and longitude in the URL also do not appear to change. Is this a known issue with Google Maps? Is there any way to fix this or get the latitude and longitude from somewhere else?

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

If the places are very close to one another, it might not change. Otherwise, it does.

[@Retorneadordeceramica]

Hi, I am following your tutorial but the second Loop Item with the Variable List did not work for me? Do you know why?

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Hi, You mean the loop item with the different companies? In that case, did you try to rewrite the XPath?

[@n1ghttra1n]

@@francoisfromoctoparse you have a space after maps( could be because chrome checkmarks safe links) if he removes the space it, works

[@MrMattden]

Thanks for the video, do you know if it's possible to extract mail address ?

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

With Octoparse, no. With the link in the description, yes.

[@phoenixgaming231]

I have a question

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Yes?

[@alumnoresponsable6727]

Hi! Thanks for your video! Still... I don't know what Im doing wrong... When configurating the loop item, it does only give 1 or none loop item.s as a result

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Hi, Did you "refresh" the loop item as shown on the video?

[@alumnoresponsable6727]

I strictly follow the video@@francoisfromoctoparse

[@graczer34]

would it be possible to scrape a pulse code and link from share from places as well?

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

I am not sure to understand the question.

Hello, Yes you can.

How do you save a workflow? I checked the documentation on OP but didn't find anything. Is this a premium feature? Thank you.

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

By clicking on "Save" I guess ;)

Will Google allow me to use Octoparse? I heard it isn't allowed.

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

Yes, you can scrape Google with Octoparse.

how to scrap pages that is redirecting to another page

[@francoisfromoctoparse]

If the page is from another website, I don't think you can do that with Octoparse.

[@muratkekec5994]

@@francoisfromoctoparse what do you mean.? I have the link and when I enter url it directs to another website. Original website has all the information I want to scrab. can you try on your end?

[@river.agency]

Salut, j'ai configuré une tâche en suivant le tuto disponible sur le site Octoparse. Mais le gros problème que j'ai, c'est qu'au bout d'un moment, il commence à scraper que des doublons. J'ai l'impression qu'il n'arrive pas à changer de page ou défiler la page correctement. Pourtant j'ai vérifié le paramétrage plusieurs fois pour voir s'il est bien pareil au tuto et tout est bon. Est-ce que tu pourrais m'aider ?
