Since I didn't get any help from @Sweetfunny or @loopline in this matter, maybe other member of BHW can help me. The makers of SB say that the Whois Scraper Addon is trainable, which means it can pull data from a specific TLD registry. Since every registry is built different, I have to tweak the settings bellow but I don't have any ideea what I'm doing. I'm interested in pulling the "Domain Status" info in bulk from the registry.

With the standard settings SB only pulls partial data - the name of the domain and the expire date - . What I have to change bellow to make SB pull the "Domain Status" info? Is there any other software that can do this beside SB? Thanks.

If you posted in Scrapebox sales thread then thats why I didn't reply. Im not allowed to reply to a sales thread with help answers. Only the OP can reply to sales threads and give help, its BHW rules. I used to help people in the sales thread but got an infraction on BHW for helping people...

As to training it, there is a save results for debugging check box at the bottom of the addon. Place a check mark in that box.

Then run it on some domains with the tlds that you want.

Then go to your

Scrapebox\Addons\ScrapeBox Whois Scraper\Responses

And the actual response from the whois servers will be saved there.

Just open each tld and then go into the screen like you show in your screenshot. Then just use the response data and change the before and after markers of the data you want.

You can look at the existing data that is scraped and the markers for it to get an idea of whats going on, but your literlly looking for data before and right after the data you want to scrape, so you put that before and after data in scrapebox whois addon and it scrapes the data in the middle.
 
Hi @loopline ,

Can anyone help me? I've been trying to retrieve mail with the Whois Scraper Scrapbox module for several days now, to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?

When I launch the scraper on domains it doesn't scrape any mail or systematically the registrar's mail but never hotmail or gmail... even though they are listed.

You can go into the whois addon folder and look at sample data. The whois addon uses the WHOIS server on port 43, which can yield different info then just scraping the web, which is what you are showing in your screenshot.
