We can get some solutions from the following article: Why does Octoparse only extract the first item and duplicate? When the task keeps producing duplicated data, there are bound to be problems with its "loop Item". When the reminder pops up, we’d better refer to Why Octoparse stops and no data is extracted?. With the above operations, we can check whether every step of the task works.Īfter checking the task manually, we can use the local extract to help with debugging In the process of local extraction, we can consider there are bugs when the following situation occurs: We can solve this problem by referring to the following tutorials.ĭata fetched to the incorrect data fields If we have data extracted to the wrong "columns" or not being extracted at all, it may be due to the inaccurate XPath. We have access to view the extracted data. We should check whether it can click the item on the "Loop item" and whether the website employs AJAX technique.Ħ. "Click Item" is quite similar to "Click to paginate". The selected web page opens in the built-in browser.
We can check whether they are right or not.ĥ. The Loop item information will be in the "Customize Action". If so, the " AJAX Timeout " is needed to be set up.Ĥ. If the action works well, the next page displays in the built-in browser. If not, you may need to modify the XPath for the "Pagination".įor this step itself, what we need to be cautious is whether the website employs AJAX technique. Click "Click to Pagination" to check whether the next-page button is located in the loop item area accurately.
#OCTOPARSE NOT DISPLAYING WEBSITE HOW TO#
Please refer to How to handle pagination with page numbers? and Extract multiple pages through pagination. In some cases, if there is no ">(Next button)" for pagination, we can try to handle this type of pagination via XPath. If the web page takes a long time to load, you may need to extend the Timeout.Ģ. In addition, the Go-To-Web-Page action can be customized in the "Customize Action". Click "Go To Web Page", the target webpage opens in the built-in browser. The following example shows how to debug by manually clicking each step.ġ. Since Octoparse executes each step from the top down, we should click this step in the top-down order. Generally speaking, when we click on a step in the workflow, the corresponding process is displayed in the built-in browser and details about this step are displayed in "Customize Action"
Step 1: Manually click through each step in the workflow
