Hello everyone,

I want to extract the HRef element from the instances in this website (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/oj/daily-view/L-series/default.html). I usually extract both the text and the HRef using the Extract data from Web Page but I am not able to do that in this website because the layout changes daily. As a workaround I used the Get details of Web Page action but this way I can only extract the Text itself and I don't know how I can extract the HRef each day, I tried Extract data from Web Page and selecting each one individually but as it works for one day it doesn't for the second.

I want to get the link of each one of the texts with an arrow on it and all the rest down to the end of the page, and also have it automated to work each day when the layout changes.

How can I do this? Is there a way that I extract the HRef using the text I want to extract it from? Or any other way?

If anyone can help with this one I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Telmo Ferreira

1. Sort data with OJ Number

2. Record the steps and capture element one by one.

After second element capture, flow will analyze the patter and automatically capture the remaining elements

Thank you so much @Kaif_Siddique

This worked exactly as I wanted, I was able to get the extraction to run this way and then manipulate the data however I intended. Perfect, once again thank you. 👍
