Extract data from web page not returning all expected values

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

On the web page that I set up for scraping, all related field for the 40+ records have the green border indication that they have all been identified.

When I run the flow I can see that the pagination is working correctly because I see the range change for 1-25; 26-50 .... 425-430.

However, of the 800+ records that I expect to be processed, I get a varied number of fields back - never more than 104.

I also noticed that the first four records are duplicated.

I have re-recorded at least 6 times now but cannot see any reason for fields being lost.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark.

Honestly, kinda hard to give any kind of answer without the page or at least a screenshot.

Actually, looking at step 6, the bottom rows, I notice more duplicates so <80 records out of 429 have been extracted.

I'm having similar issues with the first attempt at using the web data extraction action. I show 17 products on a web page yet it only scrapes the first 18. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
