Thank you. Actually, Facebook doesn't let access to this information via the API. Which is the purpose of this bot. I'm onto something, though. Think this is all starting to make sense.

Actually, I think the system was auto-suggesting the not-so-best selector. I modified it a little and came up with this... add list to list(%people, $scrape attribute(<class="fsl fwb fcb">, "innertext"), "Delete", "Global") ...which produced a list of 14 people, nice clean list of names. Next is to work on the URLs for each of them so they can all be saved in a spreadsheet. Baby steps. Again, if anyone has any tips or examples for working with this kind of data, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I haven't touched Ubot in a few years, so I'm really REALLY rusty. I'm sure there are some things I'm forgetting in scraping in general...but I've reviewed the videos and am having a hard time isolating the data I want. There is a Facebook page for a business that I work with where we're running a contest, and we need to pull all the "likers" from the recent history. I have the URL for this data, but there's no export. Hence the need to create my own scraping solution (as opposed to copying/pasting). I'll be pulling this type of data several times per year, so it's worth it to create a bot.

Would love to see if we can spider the URL/website too if possible. I think that's the only thing missing. I'm still sorta new with Ubot but I'll open up the source and see if I can't figure some of it out. Probably easier for some of you guys with more advanced experience, though

Wow, this is freakin' amazing! One thing though. If I don't type in a keyword for it to focus on, then what about getting blocked by YP for scanning their entire website for a City? What might the change look like to have it go through a pre-specified list of keywords instead of the entire directory so we don't get blacklisted? Still, this is pretty damn good. Respect!

I'd consider buyin today if you had a video demo of the software. Looks badass though. I may buy just to have it in my arsenal. I'm too lazy to make my own uBot scripts lol Any chance of source for early adopters so we can add to it if we want?

Sweet. I'm testing it out. Happy 4th of July everyone!

I suppose I could have a PHP file locally list the dir and output to a text file....which Ubot would read in, and open each file from the list dynamically. Hmm...

I'm curious about the option to open a directory of files (all of them), then process each file in a loop. Any ideas? Curious what the more experienced users would do.

What are those terms in case I were to build a Ubot affiliate site? Gracias

This was pretty awesome. Excellent work.

If we have the source .ubot file I bought Aaron's Twitter poster yesterday (slick bot...really), but it was only the EXE. Bummer

I wanna know where you made that hot lady bot at the top left of the wiki. I think I'm gonna build her next...

Interesting. I'm not sure. It seems to be reading my || just fine, but I notice that the only way to call the second item is to use {2}. I would have thought this would have been {1}, but instead, {1} seems to be referencing the delimiter itself. Example: text #1||text #2 Anyone else have experience with this? What I've done works...just wondering why it was setup this way. No biggie.

We're all good. Thanks Seth! In short, I had the clear at the top of the list rather than at the end of the loop before it loops again. S'all good...

I've copied that video to the letter and for some reason I cannot get it to loop to the second row in the file. It doesn't go past the first row. Any ideas? Here's the completed file... Also, not sure if it's just me, but any replies notifying me of forum updates to threads I'm subscribed to don't get to me.

That's the funny thing. I was following those tutorials and ended up here. I'll check them out again. I'm betting it's just something simple that I'm overlooking. Any comments on my script are greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to use this method to read a multiple column list. My delimiter is a double pipe (||) and I'm totally stuck. Firstly, it's only adding the first column {0} to the field. Not the second column {1} from the cells list. I'm confused. I think I'm close though. The goal is to loop through ALL of the rows automatically without any user input. I'll add the appropriate delay commands and things for interacting with the page later, but I can't even get the loop to work right. I did take care to clear the list variables at the top as you'll see. Screenshot attached.

I thought this was interesting... (see attached)

I'm wondering the same thing. How does this method work with a multi-column CSV file rather than a one-col sheet? One example is I have a "NAME","URL" format in one of my sheets, I'll scrape, build that list, then run another bot using that sheet. I'll need to be able to open the file and call to each of the two individual columns. Thanks. I agree. Awesome community!
