Extract data from web page returns single element

Posted on by Ihor_OD

I'm trying to use the "Extract data from web page" to get a list of div titles. For some reason the component returns only the first element from a list and I can't understand why it is happening, that's why I need help or suggestions to solve this issue

I checked selectors for all the elements and the structure is exactly the same (but the IDs, titles etc are different, which should be OK)

div[Class="wrapper"] > div > div[Id="generalTab"]
div[Class="wrapper"] > div > div[Id="otherTab"]

"Extract data from web page" settings:

Base CSS: div[Class="wrapper"] > div
CSS: div [tried also with Class!="separator", same result]
Attribute: id [for testing purposes]

I cannot share the website, but here is the HTML tree. it is not loaded dynamically, all elements are displayed

...

<div>

...

</div>

@Ihor_OD
I'm still not entirely clear on the requirement. If feasible, could you please take a screenshot of your HTML element by pressing F12 as shown below? Then, highlight the data you wish to extract from the webpage (ensuring all sensitive information is hidden) and also share your flow screenshot too if possible?

I suggest that you make sure that you have the Extract option set to "List" in the Live web helper of the Extract data from web page action.

Wow, the only difference is that you put the list item div inside Base CSS, it worked for me!
I thought the "Base CSS" is used to specify the parent element and "CSS Selector" for list items..

Thank you so much for your help!
