jx05 0 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi, I am wondering if other members had this same problem with Google Adwords keyword tool. I found downloading csv files very tricky.I am currently using Ubot 4 standard edition (without “scrape table†function), I tried to create a keyword research bot that can automatically download csv files, but the bot failed to download the file each and every time. I tried “save downloaded file†function, but the downloaded csv file is just a blank worksheet.I also found that downloading the csv file manually in Ubot’s browser had the same problem, all downloaded csv files are just empty. So, anyone knows a way to solve this problem? Some hints will be appreciated. It is so frustrating to see a bot walked all the way through perfectly but just got stuck in the last step of downloading. *********************************Update*************************************Attached is a simplified version of the script I am talking about, I am having trouble with the LAST step---downloading the file.kw research example.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ukalien 2 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I am creating such a bot using the latest version and am experiencing the self same problem - even when downloading the csv file from within the ubot browser it simply returns an empty file. The save downloaded file is being used but as per the other comments here its not working. Can anyone shed some light on why this is so? Thanks. ps - had to re-register my old acccount did not work!?

KristineK 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I actually emailed support regarding this issue and has pointed to them this thread stating many people are having this exact same problem.

WhooBoto 0 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Not to repeat what everyone else is saying in this thread but, yes, I'm having the same issue. BUT, here is my challenge (it may be one of those things that is so simple that no one has taken the time to explain and so it still alludes me)... How the heck do you get Ubot to download the file in a sequential order once the button is pushed? After the "download" button is pushed it seems that Ubot is disabled because of the "Save As" pop up which exists on your PC rather than in Ubot. It would be really great if Ubot would make the "Save As" pop-up accessible for additional code such as a set variable that has been put into place and defined by the user before the "Save As" Pop-up shows up. I hope there is something simple that I'm missing such as a way to intercept between the "download" button push and the "Save As" pop-up. OR, perhaps there is a different Option that does this that I'm not aware of? Any sort of a link to a tutorial would be very helpful. ---------------------------------- In relation to the clicking of the final "download" button at aw.goog.com to obtain your .csv file It looks to me that google has made the process VERY tough purposely to stop robot automation. I've studied the code and it looks like they have hidden the url of the downloadable .csv file as an attribute of a .gif image which is located at an invisible minus location within the pop-up window. The ".gif" holds the url wich is MASSIVELY encrypted to insanity and pings their server to give the answer of the url location for the .csv file which is inside the session cookie of your browser visit. Also, if you just click one part of the button itself it will produce nothing because the ENTIRE button (and the code that goes with it) clicked at one time is actually activating multiple attributes to even start the process of obtaining the url of the .csv file. In addition, if ubot's browser isn't holding the session cookie properly then it would never give the exact .csv file name given to the user via the encrypted session information by google. Sorry, that may be a really deep or a really stupid answer, lol Anyways, does anyone know how to click the "download" button and download the file at the same time? Thanks a bunch!

UBotDev 276 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hey Guys. Adwords recently made some changes, so new tool is not called "Keyword Tool" but rather "Keyword Planner", so it would be better if you would open a new topic.... However, I've posted a working example for downloading CSV from KP here: http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14917-how-to-download-csv-from-adwords-keyword-planner/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
