Select the type of data you want to take
DOM - document object model;
Source - the source code of the page;
Text - the visible text of the page;
URL - link address from the address bar.
Source - the source code of the page received from the server. To simplify things a lot, the browser works like this:
DOM can contain information and elements that will not be in the source code (Source) because it (the DOM) includes content that can be embedded using JavaScript. When working with requests ( GET , POST and other types of requests ), you will always deal with Source. There are two tools for viewing Source and DOM in ProjectMaker:
|
Select the tab from which to take data:
Active - the current active tab;
First - if there are several tabs, then take the first one in a row;
By name - specify the name of the tab;
By number - indicate the number of the tab, if there are several.
If you need to process only one or a few specific HTML tags, then activate the checkbox and select the necessary options.
If you need to parse the result, you can do this by specifying the desired Regex regular expression, the number and numbers of matches, as well as where to save the result - to a variable or table. You can find the required regular expression using the Regular Expression Tester .
The controls that appear when the Parse data setting is enabled are the same as for Text Processing-Regex (there you will find a more detailed description).

Let's take all the links on the page. We select to take DOM or Source, parse the result and specify the regular expression Regex:
(?<=href=")http.*?(?=") |
Take all values and put the result in the list.
As a result, the list will contain all the links on this page.
