hints about scraping multiple cells from a complex table


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I  have a site with complicated HTML that presents data as a visual table. Underneath, the HTML is a bunch of divs, multiple tables per row , and multiple rows containing related data.

 

So, no nice clean pattern that I can parse. Using code this is not be a problem, but I want to use ubot for this.

 

It's no problem to just extract one cell from each row, e.g. a URL or a description, but I want to know if it is possible to extract data from multiple cells in a single pass.

 

I can't provide links or sample HTML as the site is behind a login and the data is confidential.

 

So my question is what's the general approach in cases like this? Can you point me to a tutorial or post that provides some pointers on how best to handle pages like this?

 

Thanks!
