rtcostaQ: Extract from an Excel or CSV list?
Hello
I have an Excel spreadsheet with a list of about 60 URLs of vendor detail pages from which I'd like to extract data, such as: name, WhatsApp, email, Facebook, Instagram, and website, when available, as not all pages have all the data. What are the steps for this task?
I created a free account and tried but was unsuccessful. I've already looked at the blog posts and the Discord channel without success.
Here's an example URL I need to extract: https://www.bookfestas.com.br/decoradores/alberto-serruya
Thanks and kind regards.
This was previously answered by Claire Hu who said BrowserAct handles hidden/empty fields automatically (it extracts only visible/present fields and skips missing elements). For extracting similar data across pages you can use Natural Language Mode—simply describe the data you want (e.g., name, WhatsApp, email, Facebook, Instagram, website) and the AI will try to find it across different structures; Visual Workflow is more precise but site-specific (similar sites can share workflows, very different sites need separate workflows). To process many pages, configure looping/pagination once—identify the “Next” button or use a Loop to iterate your list of URLs—and BrowserAct will repeat the workflow for each page. Typical flow: loop through your URLs, visit each page, extract visible fields, and export to CSV/JSON.
