Not pulling in correct title

Closed

Holden Bruce (SellWithOtto) opened this issue

The scraper is pulling in the wrong 'title' from the webpage. It is saving the short description (eg 9-year-old fast growth D2C in the baby and keepsake category. AU$6.79M TTM revenue, 56% GP margin and 24% repeat customers. Global reach w. awesome upside.) as the title instead of the actual title (Ecommerce Store | Lifestyle).

Those shorter titles aren't even being saved as a column in the data, they're just being ignored.

I understand the confusion, but this is how Flippa's internal API is set up. To get the title you're looking for, e.g. "Ecommerce | Lifestyle", you should combine the category and the monetization fields which can be found like this:

1{
2            "category": "Lifestyle",
3            "monetization": "Ecommerce",
4}
