If you want to extract the hyperlinks use as below

1. Launch browser (Chrome/Edge)

2. Choose the Extract data from web page action

(look up the internet for some videos on how to use this action -> Power Automate Desktop : Web Data Extraction - Extract Data from Web Page - YouTube)

 

Right click on the "How to use.." and then the ones mentioned below in yellow highlighted

Then go to the Advanced settings of the Live web helper window

VJR_1-1673235264864.png

 

 

Make changes to the selector as below

 

VJR_2-1673235387381.png

 

html > body > div:eq(1) > div:eq(3) > div > div:eq(1) > div:eq(0) > div

div > div > div > div:eq(1) > a

href

 

 

The Live web helper window now shows the list of hyperlinks

VJR_3-1673235483786.png

 

 

After running the process you should now see all the hyperlinks in a datatable variable

VJR_4-1673235572741.png

 

 

The website you are working on also has pagination

So you need to use set element as pager to get the links of the other pages as shown in below video

The element is not having YouTube link. So i would suggest first click on it and copy url from next page.

If nothing else works use Move mouse to text on screen (OCR) and send a mouse click.

Follow as below to get links of all 13 pages.

After running the process:

 

You will get 0 to 116 ie; 117 links

 

VJR_2-1673321829189.png

 

Either you can write the above DataFromWebpage variable to a csv using Write to CSV.

 

Or store it in Excel spreadsheet in the Extract data from webpage action.

@zin45 

Add UI element for the below and read its value using Get details of element on webpage

VJR_0-1673407170384.png

 

After reading it will give you this

VJR_1-1673407218944.png

 

 

Then using string functions read the value after the word "of" which is 13.

Use Crop Text

 

VJR_2-1673407388892.png

 

 

This will give the value 13

 

VJR_3-1673407407625.png

 

 

 

Pass this value to the number of pages to process.
