Sorry if this is obvious but is there a way to wait for file to be created before executing part of a job? E.g One job creates a .xlsx or .csv. Then your next ubot does something with it but only when that .xlsx or .csv exists. Thanks

Can someone clarify how the UBOT or how API’S work in general such as in UBOT and ones such as scrapy. If you had a page with dynamic generated links or if you wanted to click a button, you can’t really do this through an API can you? Someone told me that you only download the webpage as a source and then parse it. It saves CPU but you can’t really interact with the webpages… As an example say I wanted to go here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=monitors Then I wanted to click next 400 times and scrape amazon monitors data for each unique

Not strictly a ubot question but thought someone should know. Also weirdly my PC I Have to log in with a virtual keyboard and I can't for any site login with passwords so I have to copy and paste or use virtual keyboard. Never heard of a virus doing this. Might backup and reset pc....

Anyone used this plugin? I'm kind of curious but I am hesitant as if it uses regex I don't want to get it. Scraping with Regex is a really really bad idea. Your jobs have to be redesigned sometimes hourly. Where as if you pick and choose the right CSS and xpath then I'd have no problems buying this if I could export data to an excel

I'd recommend GSA over Captchasniper. Also GSA and UBOT supposedly have integrated together. Don't ask me how it works but it's something I'll look into eventually as well. Hope you can work it out as you'll be helping me and I'm sure others have the same question.

Chrome headless sounds good. What about FF https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14610875

I know some of the basics. I'm using Java. But I can't for the life of me learn how to extract the data to an excel. And when I can, the data does not look neat and it's like got gaps and all over the place like on the webpage. I can easily get a list of data but I can't get that said list to excel. If I could do that I could integrate it with Ubot, but there are like zero guides atm and I'm hitting brick wall after brick wall. What's more the people who do know how to do this think it's a good idea to not help newbies. Frustrating to say the least. Help a brother out... Worse still,

Legend. Been wondering that question as well but have been trying stuff in Selenium.

Anyone have any experience with Selenium? Wanting to integrate this. Been trying for a few days to create a basic web scraper but it's harder than I thought :S. http://scraping.pro/scraping-amazon-webdriver-java/ Trying to modify this but it doesn't seem to even put anything into a CSV (remains blank).

I laughed so hard when I saw this. I swear I'm blind sometimes xD

Not really sure if this can be done. But how do you scrape tables to an excel file? Lets say Season 1 on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Legend_of_Korra_episodes I have looked up tutorials but most seem to be Regex or list based examples. I want to extract this data and put it in to an excel in row 1, 2, 3 so it looks like that the page but in excel. Is this possible?

Cheers have sent them a ticket to ask if they can do that. I am going to keep on looking in the mean time as Time Zone Spoofing is a necessity and ultimately a bot makers undoing if you don't sync this with a Vpn/proxy imo anyway.

No one has any idea? Well.. apparently it's easy in Selenium. Here are some links.... Getting Time zone: http://blog.bigbinary.com/2015/01/08/how-to-obtain-current-time-from-a-different-timezone-in-selenium-ide-using-javascript.html https://github.com/plaa/TimeShift-js https://codeforhire.com/2013/08/11/testing-time-dependent-features-in-javascript/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44467774/timezone-without-seconds-in-javascript-selenium-ide I do exactly that but it doesn't work for me *shrugs*

Thanks man

Anyone kind enough to maybe do a guide on or help me do time zone spoofing. I've been stuck on it for ages. I've kind of lost all motivation for bot building until I can get past this hurdle. It has been done before.. In selenium: http://blog.bigbinary.com/2015/01/08/how-to-obtain-current-time-from-a-different-timezone-in-selenium-ide-using-javascript.html In ubot: http://network.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic/16297-tut-how-to-change-system-time-zone-to-match-proxy-with-json-and-http-and-get-proxy-latency/ Websites will ban you you rotate ips but at a bare minimum they'll know
