Re: REPEAT (a number of time - variable depending)

Another explanation :

- I navigate to a specific URL
- I extract one value VAL
- I want to calculate a number using this value, like newVAL = INT(VAL/20)+1
- I want now to begin a loop using this new value, like :

Repeat (newVAL) > do this, extract that > do loop till end

any idea ?

REPEAT (a number of time - variable depending)

Hi all !

I need to run a repeat loop, but the number of iteration is variable : ideally, I should get this number from a specific table.
Something like:
DataTable (URL to scrape from - nb of iteration)

Any idea of how to to that ?

Thank you !

Helium + TOR ?

Hi all !

is it possible to use Helium Scraper while on TOR network ?

If I give the right (proxy + SOCKS) parameters to Internet Explorer, would that work ?

Running several projects at once ...

Hi all ... I have several B2B directories I want to scrape data from. It is easy to do on a directory by directory basis, but each project is quite different from one another. How could I run all these projects at once (I don't necessarily care about having parallel processes, etc), and ideally havi...

Re: WAIT : random suggestion

some websites react badly when you scrape them with a very regular pattern. It's just some kind of camouflage.

WAIT : random suggestion

The WAIT action is useful but uses a fixed value ...
It could be interesting to be able to set the WAIT value to a random value (like, select random or fixed, if random, you select the MIN and MAX, in millisecond).

a few seconds of coding, a small improvement :)

Re: Memory/Resources problem with new version

I sent you a mail ... Also : I was able to get all the data by running the project twice, at two different points in the scrapped webpage (launching the software anew everytime). The error message comes after some time (I have some 475 links to scrap ; first pass blocks around 250, and it does not s...
