Hi,
I’m really excited about this product and can’t wait to start. Two questions though.
1. I collect reviews to create a Metascore. But I just collect specific reviews of a product. Is there a way in scraper to collect bulk reviews from multiple sites?
For example:
I have a new game I want to collect reviews of, it’s called ‘Halo Combat Evolved’. This game is reviewed on multiple sites. I google the URL’s, past them in the bulk scraper and get the review content from these websites.

A way for 2. is getting the <script type=”application/ld+json”> (xpath: //script[@type=”application/ld+json”]) and get the value of ‘reviewRating.ratingValue’ and use ‘bestRating’ so it can match my site’s rating. Only question is how to scrape the right application/ld+json (some sites have multiple application/ld+json) to get the ‘ratingValue’ key from the ‘reviewRating’ json object.

1) You can scrape the URLs in bulk but these should have same HTML structure (basically it’s for scraping from different urls of same website) – https://support.wpbots.net/documentation/scraping-urls-in-bulk/
In your case as it’s different websites, the better option would be to create separate task for each. You may also use shortcode feature – https://support.wpbots.net/documentation/creating-dynamic-wordpress-shortcode/2) Unfortunately, you cannot scrape information from images like these. Also, I checked the site’s page source and there is no text representation of the rating.
Regards!

2) Yup I saw this too. That’s ashame. Is there a way to scrape the <script type=”application/ld+json”>? I tested the demo but didn’t work
May 1, 2020 at 8:18 am #1996lex van DommelenParticipantBy the way, 1 can be solved if scraping for <script type=”application/ld+json”> can be done and using that Json object to fill out the fields.
May 1, 2020 at 11:30 am #1998Suman M.KeymasterYou can scrape the site/content loaded via Ajax/Script using Scraper Pro option. You can check it in the demo – https://scraper.site/visual-editor/?purchase_code=demo-account
