How to get text from alt img?

[kareld...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

With this great scraper tool, I am trying to extract the text that is 'stored' in the img alt. The HTML looks as follow:

<div class="jum-promotion jum-mediumbadge"><img alt="THIS IS WHAT I NEED" src="http://www.blahblah.com/blah"></div>

I assume this has to be done with Element Attribute, but I am not sure what to fill out where (selector, etc). It is also a bit hard to test because only a few products on the site have this extra text and it takes a long time before it reaches them. 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,

Karel

Hello!

Use a Selector of type Element Attribute. In the field Attribute name write alt 

Docs ref: http://www.webscraper.io/documentation#element-attribute-selector

Example (use Create new sitemap / Import sitemap) of getting google logo image attributes:

{"startUrl":"https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web-scraper/fq18Dp2vjGM","selectors":[{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementAttribute","multiple":false,"id":"image_attribute_height","selector":"a.google-logo img","extractAttribute":"height","delay":""},{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementAttribute","multiple":false,"id":"image_attribute_width","selector":"a.google-logo img","extractAttribute":"width","delay":""},{"parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementAttribute","multiple":false,"id":"image_attribute_src","selector":"a.google-logo img","extractAttribute":"src","delay":""}],"_id":"webscraper_helper"}

Thanks! This helped me find the right settings. I ended up using 

selector: div.jum-promotion.jum-mediumbadge
attribute name: img.alt

(although I also remember having seen the img-term at the end of the selector field...)

I double-checked: the selector indeed has img at the end (no spaces or periods) and the attribute name only has alt. Just in case someone wondered!
