Hi.

Newbie here. I was very easily able to create a Flow that would screenshot a site but was thinking of expanding that to be able to walk the entire site and take screenshots of each page. Is something like that possible?

Thanks.

Yes, as far as you are able to navigate to all the links of the entire website you can capture their screenshots.

Some sites do have a sitemap...so check that too.

Thanks VJR. That is the real question, is there a way to identify all the links from on each page, navigate to them, grab the screenshot, and go to the next page?

Thanks,

I do not know the structure of your webpage, but a way to extract all links of a webpage is by the following actions

- Launch <browser>

- Get details of web page (this will give a variable)

- Use that variable in Recognise entities in Text (select URL in dropdown)

But of course this is going to extract every single thing that looks like an URL eg; image links, etc.

Perhaps you can go from there as per your requirements.

Thank you for pointing me in a direction. Let me see what I can come up with from there.

Quick update. It was more difficult to process the pages and pull out the links in PAD so we wrote a C# app that dumps the URLs we find to a text file. Our PAD flow reads from that file and does all the screenshots. Working well.
