jp wanko (ID: 0000005c8487089e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 I think Scraper needs a bit of xpath knowledge. For people who have programed scraping before and want to do it without program, this is a way to go.

Pavlo Bohatchuk (ID: 000000620d715865) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/27/2023 Can't scrape just with regular selectors. Need to know XPath. No option to scrape multiple pages.
