I used to be able to scrape an adult site for the content. (**Not sure if I can post the site here??!?!**)

But recently, they changed their code! When I right-clicked to view the page source code, I cannot find the the parts I want.

EG: There's the string "DVD ID" ... "Actresses" ... "Categories" ... etc on the page .. but I cannot find those in source. In fact almost nothing about the video can found in the source.

Instead, I find "script" HTML Tags and some "src=" in the source

I have close to zero knowledge in scripting/coding, so I'm depending largely on Scrapebox to do the job. Not sure if Scrapebox can still scrape such a website. Hope to get some advice and insights from you all.

Thanks in advance

You want to do CTRL+U

on your keyboard thats the full source code of the site like scrapebox sees. So if you can't see the code then scrapebox can't either. Its likely that they are pulling in the code with scripts etc.. In which case scrapebox wont work.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed .. they are pulling in the code via scripts .. guess I'll have to find alternate sites to do it
