Load More Button is Not Working

Posted on by CPee

I've created a flow to allow continuous webscraping when the button "Load More" is available however, it is not working as intended and does not proceed to the next page. Is there a workaround for this? Thank you.

How does your 'Path' variable appear? Does it include a URL? If feasible, could you provide a visual representation of the web page where you intend to click the button?

Alternatively, if you have the URL of the button, you can utilize the following "Go to web page" action.

If your URL is dynamic, utilize the following action. Capture your UI element if it contains an Href URL and save it in a variable. Then, pass this variable to the "Go to web page" action as the URL parameter.

Hi @Deenuji ,

This is how the Path variable appears.

Should I change the click the link to go to webpage instead?

It seems you're attempting to click on the "Load More" button on your webpage. I suggest unchecking the checkbox highlighted in red from (12 to 15) and see if it resolves your issue.

After removing those checkboxes, please test the element using the highlighted test option at the top.

If its not working then we will go with another approach. Pls test and let me know the results.

If it's permissible, could you please provide me with the URL that you're using in your automation? This will allow me to try and assist you in resolving the issue.

Can you please explain what it is exactly that does not work? The flow does not find the button and exits the loop? Does it click on the button at least once?

I tried extracting prices from this link
I tried changing the flow see screenshot below and now I'm getting a runtime error found that the url is not found on the Go to web page action.
