I am trying to scrape tables of a website using the google chrome extension webscraper.io. In the tutorial of the extension, it is documented how to scrape a website with different pages, say, "page 1", "page 2" and "page 3" where each of the pages is directly linked on the main page.
In the example of the website I am trying to scrape, however, there is only a "next" button to access the next site. If I follow the steps in the tutorial and create a link for the "next" page, it will only consider page 1 and 2. Creating a "next" link for each page is not feasible because they are too many. How can I get the webscraper to include all pages? Is there a way to loop through pages using the webscraper extension?
I am aware of this possible duplicate: pagination Chrome web scraper. However, it was not well received and contains no useful answers.
Following the advanced documentation here, the problem is solved by making the "pagination" link a parent of its own. Then, the scraping software will recursively go through all pages and their "next" page. In their words,
To extract items from all of the pagination links including the ones that are not visible at the beginning you need to create another Link selector that selects the pagination links. Figure 2 shows how the link selector should be created in the sitemap. When the scraper opens a category link it will extract items that are available in the page. After that it will find the pagination links and also visit those. If the pagination link selector is made a child to itself it will recursively discover all pagination pages.

I have a website where I host cooking recipes, on the index of the site there is a "recent dishes" button that you can click to view my most recent dish. The problem arises when you factor in that my most recent dish is designed to be viewed inside an Iframe in a "dish index". The dish index has a sidebar with important information that I would like to not have to implement a javascript solution for.
In summary, is there a way to format a link to open the index page, and then open the iframe inside the page?
just for extra clarification, as it seems there are a bunch of questions asking how to do a similar sounding thing.
click link.
link open.
Iframe inside of link opens to a specific page, separate from the default.
Here is a website that has the behavior that I'm looking for, but they're using Framesets and frames which were deprecated in html4 i believe. Please note that the sidebar does not refresh/load when a link is clicked, but the url does.
I've been googling for about 15 minutes now and have not found a solution, other than the javascript one.
From what I understood you want to have a menu and once a link inside this menu has been clicked you want to load different pages. If that is correct then make the menu the main page and then change frame src for different pages. You use target in the link to target the iframe
A short example can be found below
Page 1
Page 2
<iframe src="Page1.html" name="myIframe"></iframe>
Is there any solution to scrape using Web Scraper(crome extension) when the page list is not given (such as [1]-[2]-[3]---[2000]). Instead here [1]-[next][last] is given. How can I select the next button to complete pagination?
My page link is here:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
How can I solve this problem?
In other words, if there are pages out on the web with anchor tags saying, for example:
Interesting photo
Can I search for "this_page.html" and find pages that link to that page on my site? I seem to be able to search only for "Interesting photo", the shown text in the link.
Thanks for any insight.
You can make the following google search: www.mysite.com/this_page.html -site:www.mysite.com To find webpages there links to your website -site:www.mysite.com exclude your own website.
You can use a "backlink-checker"
for the main site, but it won't reference
individual pages (free versions anyway, paid version will have different feature sets).
I am using squarespace developer kit and going well. I am wanting to integrate some queries to display some very simple data form my blogs that will appear on my home page ONLY.
Not being very fluent in JSON, I am struggling to implement the query on the home page. I have it set up to display the data from the selected blog but it displays the data through each page.
I only want the data to be visible on the home page at the top. Not in the header but inside where all the content is.
Here is my query that works perfectly well
<squarespace:query collection="feature-articles" limit="10">
<li>
{.repeated section items}
<li>{title}</li>
{.end}
</li>
</squarespace:query>
Can the data be inserted into a code block via the content manager so I can then insert into within the content or am I totally wrong in thinking that.
What I will then do is style/ add or edit the UI of the data into either a carousel or whatever is needed for the project.
I just need to know where to store the query so that it fits in with the content.
Appreciate any time.
Review the following link to see how you can edit a template file, to make different pages use different templates.
http://developers.squarespace.com/template-configuration/
Make a completely custom template just for your homepage then paste you code within your custom .region file as outlin ed in the above guide.
Here is the page about working with template pages:

Seeing as you know about , I have a feeling you might already know this, so you might want to be a bit more specific about how your displaying your code and I will gladly update my answer.
I wote some articles on my wiki but made links to pages I was going to create later. Right now When you view the page there is a "page does not exist"
Is there a way to get a list of all of the "page does not exists" on every page on the wiki?
I tried broken redirects but all i get is
Broken redirects Jump to: navigation, search The following redirects
link to non-existent pages:
There are no results for this report.
What you're looking for is called "wanted pages" in Mediawiki. See your Special:WantedPages page. One especially useful feature is the pages are ordered by those with the most links, so the most "desired" pages are at the top. On a standard installation it looks like this.
