Hi Aymen, tried downloading the plugin and seems the link isn't working. Are you still providing the plugin? Thanks!

Hi all, Been having some fun with APIs and trying to develop my own skillset more. I am looking at this demo API result which is produced in JSON: https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=SECTOR&apikey=demo What are the best ways to handle this data with as little resources as possible? Right now here's what I am doing: Adding the entire page (set variable and use http get) to a list. I then set the desired position to the results I want and delete the pieces of info I don't need from the list position. Is that the best way to handle this JSON presented data? Whilst I do techni

Never mind, I found the solution. Works well. For those using PS here's what I did, using http post https://www.pushsafer.com/api?k=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&d=XXXXXX&pr=2&m=hello

Hi all, I've started using Pushsafer and love it - I find I could help speed it up a bit more (maybe) by using their APIs. RIght now I am sending an email with the custom email address my Pushsafer account has, and it works great, but I think I could speed up the process by maybe 15 seconds if I used the API features. I'm a novice at APIs at this so I am wondering if anyone has any sample Push API code I could study? I have Aymen's http plugin which I use to http get page data, so I am looking for page changes and then I notify upon change. Right now, I'm sending an email. Thanks in

Hi all, Wondering if you could help - I am looking to scan a page for any two, thee or four letter words on it that are upper case. For example: AB ABC ABCD Would appreciate any suggestions on how I would accomplish this. Thanks in advance, Kev

Hi all, Trying to load in a page using the http post and it's saying unspportedbrowser. How do I get around this? set(#settinglink,$plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$http post", "https://www.myhome.ie/estate-agents", "", "", "", "", ""),"Global")

Turns out it was available memory causing the problem. I was running it on a 1gb ram machine. 2 gb and it’s fine.

Hi all, Had a fresh install on my VPS of Win2008 R2 - updated .NET 4.5 and finding none of my bots will run. I have also used the installer, compiled and ran that on it but they won't run. Inside Task Manager I see "Loading..." but never opens. Any ideas? I haven't ran Windows Update on this machine, simply as it's problematic for me to fix right now. But could that be the issue? If so, anyone know of a Windows Update tool I can download? The built in one is causing all sorts of errors. Kev

Bump - having the same issue here! Any way to roll back?

Hi all anyone know if it’s possible to download mp3s from Spotify using ubot? Assume using Spotify premium. Thanks in advance

Just saw it now - Ok so that's good to know. Any reason why that is the case? Seems a little odd right that I can't compile these or am I using a beta version? Thanks for the heads up

Yeah plenty - just that I ran the exes and they didn't look to download anything at all. I've ran bots on both machines previously. Nothing changed. Strange one. I'll tinker around some more see what comes up

I'm having problems running the EXE on two different machines other than the one I coded this on. Any idea what's wrong here? clear list(%videos) clear cookies verify video libraries navigate("https://www.youtube.com/user/Slowboy71/videos","Wait") wait for browser event("Everything Loaded","") loop while($exists(<class="yt-uix-button yt-uix-button-size-default yt-uix-button-default load-more-button yt-uix-load-more browse-items-load-more-button">)) { click(<class="yt-uix-button yt-uix-button-size-default yt-uix-button-default load-more-button yt-uix-load-more browse-items-load-

Got it - just scraped video title - works fine

That sorted it, thanks Buddy. First time running it. Any idea how I might get the video titles? I was thinking of navigating to each page that way and scraping the title.

Hi all, I am getting a script error when i try to download youtube videos (usin the upgraded ubot). This is the error: https://www.screencast.com/t/e5H3bMWz5p Anyone else having this issue? Whilst I'm here, I was hoping someone might have a solution to this: I want to download all videos and their titles too, and rename the file the same as the video. Anyone got a way to do this? I even tried going direct to the video and downloading using $url but the same error appears. Thanks in advance

Hi all, Been a while since I fired up ubot and need to do a small bot for scraping ads that have a phone number in them, specifically click to call. These are viewed on iPhone user agent. Could anyone help me with the script to scrape just the ads that have the phone number icon in them like you can see in the screenshot Here's what I am working with currently: clear list(%ads) set user agent("iPhone") ui text box("Search",#keyword) navigate("http://google.ie","Wait") wait for browser event("Page Loaded","") type text(<name="q">,#keyword,"Standard") wait(1) click(<name="btnG"&g

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how best to code this. I have a google spreadsheet but it won't load from within my version of Ubot (v4) I have v5 but Google Spreadsheet wouldn't load on it either (can it?) Regardless, I want to be able to gather correlated information from the spreadsheet. I even tried making the page web based through Google Spreadsheets but ubot couldn't read it. Any work arounds for me to navigate to google spreadsheets through ubot? I want to then edit a couple of cells, too and scrape one cell. Thoughts? Cheers

Thanks Pazman, I was thinking more about the individual user who sends a tweet - to scan their profile and find an email address rather than finding *email addresses* on Twitter.

Hi all, Anyone have a ubot solution to finding email addresses from people on Twitter? I've been thinking about things like: 1. Check profile first. 2. Check for website URL on profile Bio 3. Go to website and scan for email address 4. Check past tweets for an email address Anyone have anything more concrete or automated? Cheers, Kev

Hi all, I've been trying to delete emails from within a POP3 connect to mail server node and the weird thing is it deletes position 0 email SOMETIMES, then other times it doesn't at all. So, I have the delete email node set to position 0 whilst inside the Connect to mail server. Connect to mail server - table from email - delete email - position 0 Sometimes it deletes the first email, other times it doesn't. I have tried this in V4 and V5. Other than browsing to the email client is there a known bug or something? Thanks, Kev!

Hi all, OK after some careful consideration I'm looking to take screen shots instead of a command line video recording of a web page. Here's what I want to achieve and would appreciate inputs into this: 1. When a page loads I need to calculate how many page downs (key presses using Page Down key) I need to get to the bottom. That will be my loop count. 2. Take a screen shot of only the visible portion of the screen (It's only taking the entire page, not what I want). Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Thanks! Kev

Hi all, I'm looking into creating a bot that will open up a website and start recording the page, whilst scrolling down through the page slowly. I am looking at CamStudio screen recorder but there is limited Command Line info on it. Does anyone have any experience in auto recoording their screen from using batch files etc through ubot? If so, what way did you go about it? Thanks! ~Kev

If you're still having problems you could consider something like this: 1. Using Vultr.com (aff link) set up your VPS exactly how you need it (dropbox, your bot installed, and files/folders you need to generate. 2. Have the bot as part of its process create a NEW instance of a VPS (using Vultr this is all web based). 3. Save your progress to dropbox/ftp and have your data read in from there at all times - so if you're on loop 2 for example, save the number 2 in a text file in dropbox, then $read file and start at loop 100 etc... 4. Create a new VPS, call it loop2 and that will repeat the who

Hi all, Working on a project right now and just mulling over how I might approach this data watch, given that ubot v5.7 npw has the graph feature (not used yet - still on v4 but might swap). I am tracking prices of several items. The URL to each item is always static. However the price of the item will fluctuate (think an ebay auction). What I am pondering over is the way I'll save this data. I would track every day for 7 days and each day I would add the price to a spreadsheet along with the URL. So, DAY,URL,Price 0, www.google.com, $1.50 1,www.google.com,$1.55 etc Now, I am tracking se
