Tutorial 61 · Web extraction: data from a page that resists

What the video says

1. Some pages cannot be read at a glance: they ask you to navigate, to filter or to fill in a form. The automated browser is there for those.
2. In Connectors, check that the browser is switched on. JMAX will use it by itself, without opening windows on top of you.
3. Describe the path: go into this page, filter by Colombia and bring me the list. The way you would explain it to someone about to do it by hand.
4. The Detail panel shows you where it is navigating. When it finishes it brings back what it extracted, ready for a spreadsheet.
5. If the site asks for a username and password, put them in Configure. Never type them in the chat: there they would stay saved in the conversation.
