Scraping data from my chrome extension.

Closed

Hi, I'd like to run a task to scrape Amazon product creation date from my Helium 10 (Amazon research tool) chrome extension. When I clicked "Inspect" on the value, here's what I got:

Feb 3, 2022

With that, may I know the jQuery I should be inputting in my actor?

Hello @LeonardChin, thank you for reaching out!

It looks like the classes you found (sc-hZgKxL cAXDLI) might be autogenerated, which means they could change frequently. Instead of relying on them, I’d recommend analyzing the structure around this element to find a more stable selector. For example, you can try using the descendant combinator or other CSS "tricks" to target it more reliably.

Also, please note that if this element only appears when your Helium 10 extension is active, you might not be able to scrape it using our Web Scraper Actor. This Actor runs in a standard, vanilla Chromium (or Chrome) environment without extensions. If you need to use your extension, you would have to create a custom Actor that allows for more flexibility.

I’ll go ahead and close this issue, but feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
