Navigating dropdown page selector

#1

I am first time user and trying to scrape this results table Etape Loch Ness - 2026 Times
but I am struggling to find a way to get the navigation to work. It does not have a Next button, but is a dropdown list where you click on the page number to show.
Is this possible in Data Miner?

Hi There,

Thanks for posting. I’d be happy to help.

I looked at the site and the Nav feature is not compatible with this style of pagination. However, there is an alternative solution. The page is indicated in the URL, so you can build a list of URLs in Excel, upload them to Data Miner as a CSV and run a Crawl to visit the different pages.

Crawls do require paid plans, but you can test it with a free plan. You can learn about Crawls here: How to crawl and scrape a website | Data Miner

Please let me know if you have any questions.
