Extracting data from lightbox

[Aissam]

Hi there,

I have tried my best but I couldn't succeed extracting a phone number from a lightbox popup.

Here is my code please help me :

{"startUrl":"http://www.lamudi.ma/appartement-quartier-hopitaux-131061-29.html","selectors":[{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorPopupLink","multiple":false,"id":"click","selector":"div.info a","delay":""},{"parentSelectors":["click"],"type":"SelectorText","multiple":false,"id":"phone","selector":"tr#mf22.number td.phone","regex":"","delay":""}],"_id":"testoo"}

Thank you,

Hi,

Try using element click selector. For "click selector" select the button that needs to be clicked. Then for "selector" select the popup element. Add a child selector to the element click selector that extracts the phone.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried with the element click as followed but it still does not work:

{"selectors":[{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementClick","multiple":false,"id":"click","selector":"div#form-request-phone","delay":"","clickElementSelector":"div.info a","clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueText","clickType":"clickOnce","discardInitialElements":false},{"parentSelectors":["click"],"type":"SelectorText","multiple":false,"id":"phone","selector":"tr#mf22.number td.phone","regex":"","delay":""}],"startUrl":"http://www.lamudi.ma/appartement-quartier-hopitaux-131061-29.html","_id":"testoo2"}

Thank you,

Hi,

your element click selector didn't have a delay. If the data is loaded from a remote server then it won't be appearing immediately. Try setting the delay to 1000 (1 second). The site actually isn't showing the phone for me but at least I could open the popup and extract text from it.

{"selectors":[{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementClick","multiple":false,"id":"click","selector":"div#form-request-phone","delay":"1000","clickElementSelector":"div.info a","clickElementUniquenessType":"uniqueText","clickType":"clickOnce","discardInitialElements":false},{"parentSelectors":["click"],"type":"SelectorText","multiple":false,"id":"phone","selector":"tr#mf22.number td.phone","regex":"","delay":""},{"parentSelectors":["click"],"type":"SelectorText","multiple":false,"id":"txt","selector":"p","regex":"","delay":""}],"startUrl":"http://www.lamudi.ma/appartement-quartier-hopitaux-131061-29.html","_id":"testoo2"}
