Posted on by loisharks

hi there I am extracting a data list from a webpage

and want to get the post id

when I inspect the webpage post I can determine the post id

but it is not visible on the webpage layout

here is an image to more clarify >>>

the site page >> https://www.yad2.co.il/vehicles/private-cars?manufacturer=29&year=2015--1&area=25

post id>> item-id="s54bev85"

how can I get the id of all posts using CSS selector?

Hi @loisharks

You will need to play around a bit.
For example, when I hover my mouse on the right hand side in the code, it automatically highlights the button on the left hand side on the webpage, indicating that this element is for the Google search button. Likewise you will need to do some trial and error.
I have used Chrome in the below example.

Copy-paste this code into your workspace:

While Price and Year are extracted the text option, the one that you need is custom attribute (chosen when you right click on the element). I might be able to make a video if you want, but I don't have time right now.
