Downloading data into CSV

UI.Vision RPA
1

Going to:

https://publicrecords.alameda.courts.ca.gov/PRS/Case/CaseDetails/UlAxMTU4MDM2OA%3D%3D

has six tabs. The second tab “Register of Action” will have different number of pages. I would like to put data on all pages (nine in this example) into a csv file.

If I could click on the > symbol to the right of the page number until there is no > symbol on the last page that would get all the pages.

The other issues is how to get and integrate the data from these 9 pages into one csv file.

Ideally the csv file could be assigned the court case file number.

All this can be done with Kantu, but it is a rather complex macro. You will need to use while/endWhile and some checks to loop over the pages.

If you want, we can write the macro for you. Our web macro writing service starts at US$99. Please contact us if this option is interesting.

If you want to do it yourself, we are happy to help here in the forum for free :slight_smile:

This is for volunteer advocacy so there is zero budget.

How do automate exporting the information on the url below into a csv file?

https://publicrecords.alameda.courts.ca.gov/PRS/Case/CaseDetails/UlAxNjgwNzg5MQ%3D%3D

I can stop the script and select all and then paste into a file, but I don’t understand how I can automate this process. Other sites have an export feature that I can automate.

I can’t access your link.
i’ve recently made a looping reading of tables, divided into several pages. All pages are gathered in one csv exported.
I can give you my raw macro, you’ll have to modify it to fit your demands.
Does it suit you?

I would appreciate your macro Dukuu, since I can’t find any example od iterating through a table.

Hello. This was my solution half a year ago. I am not sure it is working now, as i can’t check it (project is gone from me).
Please check the way it is made, if this helps you - i’ll be happy.
Also if you want to discuss it - ping me in message or by mention.

Thanks! This is really an old school programming language! Your script will help a lot!
