Scrapebox Limitations. How to scrape hidden info ?

[Janoy]

So i figured out i cant scrape certain emails or other info If i first need to click on a button to display that certain info. How do you people get around this ? Is there an other crawler out there, that can click on a button so the info gets displayed and than scrape it ?

To be clear im talking about those "show emailadres " buttons etc.

Thanks

Sometimes you can scrape this info, it depends. Scrapebox uses raw sockets and threads and these do not support javascript. so if there is no javascript alternative then you can't get around it with scrapebox. However often times there is a no javascript alternative, and then scrapebox can see it just fine.

You can use Zennoposter to scrap these infos

Most scrape these information by writing a bot. Concept behind these bots is browserautomatisation and getting the response DomObjects. So you can code to press buttons, login, request auth token or read content between tags.
Many Diskussion and threads here and choosing language is like a religion discussion...

Yeah i saw something about selenium and custom python bots yesterday. Is there any one here who can code a light weight bot that can perform such a task ? Feel free to send me a pm

The best scrapper from my point of view. And there is a discount at the moment until June 8th. Really worth the price.
