    Hi. Is it possible to force somehow to save what is shown in the “sample” field? I’m trying to scrape exchange rates, but the scraper does not see them. Then, I entered the xpath data manually, and in the “sample” field what I need appeared. But when I click save, the result disappears somewhere.

    Hi, thanks for contacting us. I checked the source site and it seems like those data has been loaded via Ajax. Can you please let us know your site’s backend login details so that we can create a task for you? Thanks!

    I have changed XPath to the following and it seems to be working fine. Can you please check?

    //tr[contains(concat (" ", normalize-space(@class), " "), "rate-tr-nth")]/td[3]

    yes, its working, thanks.

    it is frustrating that there will be many such places. but I can’t call for support every time. it is not ethical. I bought some scrape plugins.
    and your plugin sees the worst data. very sorry.
    Your plugin has the best shortcode system and stability, but it penetrates the data worse than anyone.

    We understand your concern. Currently scraper’s visual editor won’t load Ajax loaded content but we are working on it. It’s only Ajax loaded data that is not shown, other data will be displayed fine. We’ll be happy to help you anytime. Thanks for your understanding!

    But how did you find such a code? Сan you tell me? I use your xpath manual search method (https://scraper.site/documentation/index.php/getting-a-value-from-hidden-element/), but it doesn’t always help.

    I have manually wrote that XPath looking at the source site’s HTML structure – https://www.screencast.com/t/gQJmCTilpXX
    XPath manual search method shall also work for most of the sites but in some cases it might not work because of the HTML structure. In such case we’ll help you find the correct Xpath. Thanks!
