bestmacros 60 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm unable to interact with new Linkedin UI inside Ubot 5:can't select any elementcan't get current url using $urlcan't scrape any data from page . Manually clicking inside internal browser also does nothing. I've tried different useragents and both chrome 49 and chrome 21 but no luck.Also tried disable javascript/css/flash/images but it also does not help.It looks like the internal browser just blocked. Here is video with the problem recorded:https://www.screencast.com/t/ghpAjw8wW4 Any ideas what can fix it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luis carlos 94 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Using iPhone/Android as user agent makes a difference? Twitter and Facebook blocked ubot 4, it is a matter of time other sites do the same on ubot 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bestmacros 60 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 using mobile is not an option because they just redirect to download mobile app page Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 When this happens I use a browser to find the elements and then manually type them in where you would normally use an element selector. It may not be the fastest way to do things but generally it gets around the browser limitations like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bestmacros 60 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 even when I can find the element - the click does nothing - it just does not response as well as it can't get any data from the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marani 80 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm using exBrowser and it works great in Linkedin just like it does in many other websites. so I extremely recommend that plugin. The issue I'm dealing with is messaging page when it comes to hundreds of PMs lol ! But it's not an exBrowser bug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bestmacros 60 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I know that exbrowser will work, but I'm searching solution related to internal ubot browser . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Biks 9 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I was banging my head against Linkedin today. I could scrape and make lists of people, but when I went directly to their profile page, I couldn't scrape ANYTHING. (after changing user agents, turning things off, etc) Apparently Linkedin takes exception to doing this: https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/15/linkedin-sues-scrapers/ Again, it's the profile pages that they're protecting. Anyone have any success with this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
