Extract Data from Web Page - Advanced CSS selection fails

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 51

Hi Everyone,

 

I have just encountered a problem that seems to make no sense. I am using CSS selectors to grab data from a web page into a data table. The preview of the extracted data is perfect and the correct output is shown. This works on multiple different pages all using the same structure.

 

When the desktop flow runs however we have a loss of data from one field, which should just be 'Own Text' - and quite frankly is nothing special. The other issue is an <img> field where the preview is showing the URL (Source Link) which is the desired information, but the flow is producing data/base64:........... the Base64 encoded image data of the image itself!

 

Both of these a working fine in the preview when I am creating and defining the CSS extractors. In the flow they fail.

 

Does anybody have any idea of what is going on?

 

Cheers
