Newbie Question regarding Google Search Result scraping

[dschmid 0]

Hi, I'm new to ubot and trying to follow the tutorial videos.I'm now at video 5 

(my problem is at 14:30)

 

It's about scraping google search results. My problem is, that google changed how the search results are delivered and the method described in the video did not works for me.

 

Here is a screenshot of the advanced element editor. As you can see there is no class attribute: http://screencast.com/t/q0HnY6Ww

 

Any idea, how I can get all search results into my list?? 

 

Thanks for any tips

Hi, yes right I try to scrape the links of the the SERPs. It's not working like described in the video. Does anybody got a working solution for this?

[Code Docta (Nick C.) 639]

try this

 

clear list(%scrape url)
add list to list(%scrape url, $scrape attribute(<class=w"_zd*">, "innertext"), "Delete", "Global")

 

works here

 

see the <cite class is _zd then make the rest a wild card because they are different except _zd

 

use a web inspector either ubots or fire bug for fire fox and look at what is the same for each element you wish to scrape then wild card the rest. so look at a few to see. where they are the same or different.

here you go I looked at my gttp and remembered how I did it was like months ago but still good stuff and this should work for you fuys....remember just a quick example here

clear list(%keywords)
add list to list(%keywords, $list from text("purple
green
yellow
blue
red", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
clear list(%scrape url)
set user agent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0")
loop($list total(%keywords)) {
    set(#KW_next_item, $next list item(%keywords), "Global")
    clear cookies
    navigate("https://www.google.com/", "Wait")
    wait for element(<innertext="Google Search">, 10, "Appear")
    type text(<name="q">, "{#KW_next_item} balloons", "Standard")
    click(<name="btnK">, "Left Click", "No")
    wait($rand(3, 10))
    wait for element(<innertext="Help">, 10, "Appear")
    add list to list(%scrape url, $list from text($find regular expression($scrape attribute(<class="r">, "outerhtml"), "(?<=<h3 class=\"r\"><a href=\").*?(?=\" onm)"), $new line), "Delete", "Global")
}
ui stat monitor("urls: {$list total(%scrape url)}", "")
