I have a table where I need to capture data from a page that has a grid of multiple items. I need to capture the image, title, and URL of each item on that page into airtable.

I’ve set up a base and configured web clipper which targets and fetches the required data using CSS selectors. But the issue is it only fetch the data of the first item only.

How to make it fetch all the entries to the airtable? Any hints?

TIA,
Munir

Same problem here.

CSS selectors work great. They help me extract just about anything I need from a web pages’s text or source code—But only ever the first element that matches the selector.

Lets say you want to scrape all of an Amazon products images, or all of it’s reviews (as I want to)— Just getting the first image or review isn’t very useful.

Has anyone worked this out? @Munir_Kamal

I’d like to open this up again as I have a similar question. There’s no way there’s no way to provide this. Do we have access to the source code or the original developers of this application? This can’t be a difficult fix.
