Hello,
I would like to
collect datas (last 100 numbers) from an online casino to work with statistics.
the page is "
https://mystake.com/fr/casino/gamepage?gameid=12489"
a list of
100 last numbers display and we can also see the result in the inspector under the
<div class="popup-body">
(right clic on the list > Inspector)
Is there a way to
collect these datas and stock them in variable in Actiona ?
Thx !!

You can scrape web sites in multiple ways and inject variables into Aciiona. Probably easier through a file.
I have written Python script to place in Actuona resources to apply BeautifulSoup
Or you can install an extension WebScraper in your browser and invoke that.
Actiona is just the orchestrator of these external processes.

Hello Newboy 2008,
On scraping, I am a neophyte.
But, I know that sooner or later, I will face it. So, I looked for some simple solutions for:
- scrap on the web,
- and to scrap data on web applications (Attention, the url must always be the same).
And for that, I chose to train myself using 4 extensions for firefox and edge:
- Extension "Extract data",
- Extension "Copy plain text",
- extension Add-on "Text Grabber",
- Extension "HTML - Table Sraper" .
- Extension: "Copy Element Text".
Good luck.

Another option to try.
To access elements in a browser page with browser in focus you can invoke developer tools in browser and read raw text from element(s) using a script.
Hit the "hamburger" icon and navigate to Developer Tools.
Or - Ctrl+Shift+I in Actiona command to toggle.
