How to search for addresses with scrapebox

[Bigcookies]

How would I use scrapebox to search for phone numbers using truepeoplesearch.com? I have a list of addresses I need scrapebox to look for those specific addresses on the site and then scrape the phone numbers in the search results I know that scrapebox has a phone number scraper but I'm not sure about how to get it to search for the specific addresses is something like this possible with scrapebox? I tried putting the address into the keyword field then scaping the internal URLs then I used the grab phone number option but it produced 0 results I'm pretty sure something like this is possible with scrapebox and that I just don't know what is I'm doing can anyone give me any kind of guidance? any help at all is appreciated.

I don't think it can scrape behind closed doors like TPS seems to be, but I might be wrong.

Maybe @loopline knows more...

does it require you to be logged in in order to see the phone number? If so then scrapebox can't work with it, also if javascript is required it won't work.

so if you can turn off javascript and load the page with javascript off, in a browser and without being logged in, then scrapebox can probably do it. But if you can't see it then scrapebox can't either.

I'm not sure if javascript is required how would I turn it off and it doesn't require me to log in

If I can disable JavaScript would it be able to scrape the site?

I just gave it a shot and it looks like that site has some sort of anti-scraping tech in place, most likely detecting javascript being off. Scrapebox is still powerful, but overtime, more and more sites are able to detect and block scrapers pretty easily. Even Cloudflare has an anti-scraping feature on by default, and it's free.

Lately I've been using Octoparse whenever Scrapebox can't get the job done, sometimes I use a combination of both. It's more expensive (monthly), web-based (slower), and more resource heavy (runs through browsers), but it'll pass through any anti-scraping tech by looking like a real user, even behind a login, when SB can't.

It'll work fine. There's a free trial available, if you want to give it a shot before buying. Worth it.

As I'm a paid member of Scrapebox, then today when I open my Scrapebox to do another project the software asks me again for my email and transaction ID. I inserted it and it tell me to wait 12 hours as it's the normal time to validade the licence.
But 12 hours already pass and Scrapebox still not validade my licence.
What's going on? Why it's taking so long now?
Can you help me on that @loopline

if you reinstall your OS or change to a new machine it will ask.

But thats really beyond the scope of anything we can help you with on BHW, you would want to contact scrapebox support
