Hi All,

 

I am trying to build a training dataset for my project.

I need to download the data from https://www.edisontd.nl/ in the same format (folder > sub- folder > sub-sub-folder ) as shown on the site with the folder names same as shown on site.

Could you please tell how can I do this ?

    Well, you will need several Extract data from web page actions to extract the following:

    1. The list of letters for country navigation
    2. The list of countries under each letter
    3. The list of document types under each country
    4. The details of each document type

    You will also need to loop through each of the extracted data tables to dig deeper into it.

     

    Creating a folder for each extracted item is not too difficult. If you can actually extract them, there is a Create folder action to do it.

     

    You will also need to do a bunch of clicking via Press button in web page to navigate to where you need to. The page is built in a way where there is no exposed API, and the URL does not change as you navigate. So, you cannot really build the URL or send a request for a specific item directly. You will need to navigate via clicking buttons. And it might be a bit of a pain.

     

    You will need to capture the selector for each button and then modify it so it works dynamically. I suggest reading this before you proceed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors#use-variables-in-a-custom-selector

    Hello @Agnius ,

     

    Thank you very much for the explanation.

    It's just that I downloaded this tool yesterday and it's a very rich tool with lots of features.

    Would it be possible for you to build a flow may be just till list of countries and share it and I can copy and repeat your done steps for rest of the folders
