Extract Data From Webpage - iFrame

Posted on by pjwilson87

I am unable to use the 'Extract data from web page' action on a site that has an iFrame.

Previously, I was using this solution that I got from here, but it is not working for this site.

Is it possible to extract elements such as the job titles & job URLs from this site?

If not, are there any alternatives?

Example: https://www.mecojax.com/careers/

Copy/Paste PAD workflow:

WebAutomation.LaunchChrome.LaunchChrome Url: $'''https://www.mecojax.com/careers/''' WindowState: WebAutomation.BrowserWindowState.Normal ClearCache: False ClearCookies: False Timeout: 60 BrowserInstance=> Browser
WAIT 3
WebAutomation.ExtractData.ExtractSingleValue BrowserInstance: Browser ExtractionParameters: {[$'''html > body > div:eq(0) > main > div:eq(1) > div:eq(2) > div > iframe > html > body > div:eq(0) > form > table > tbody > tr:eq(3) > td > div[class=\"gnewtonCareerGroupRowClass\"] > div:eq(0) > a''', $'''Own Text''', $''''''] } ExtractedData=> JobsTable

Hello @pjwilson87
This was challenging since the iframe is on a different domain and is therefore protected by cross-site scripting, but I finally figured out how to do it.

The main points were:
1. Open Edge DevTools and select element
2. Copy content to clipboard
3. Use regular expression to find href links (will contain name and url)

Complete solution here:

Just insert the url "https://www.mecojax.com/careers/" (see line 2) and run the flow. Results are saved to match[] which should contain 60 links.
