Quick question, what if the stocks I want to look at is not a US stock and the stock is listed on an other stockexhange? then the stock have a little more to its ticker, but when I try to add CO/CPH (it's a danish stockexhance) then the scraping just says Error or N/A what to do?

Very interesting

How can you pull variable data from a webpage? example: Only business addresses from a listing page that gives you multiple addresses and full descriptions of each address in between the addresses. How do you scrap specific variable data like that into a spreadsheet keeping it organized and separate from the other data?

wow what the heck this is awesome

Modern tools make this so much easier!

@@MohitBadgotra-of7xu In this case the "tool" is Google sheets. In the past I had to write programs and use functions like split or import libraries like beautiful soup and requests. Then you have to deal with error handling. One change to the page or a 404 and your entire program might crash. Often I had to reformat the data and correct character sets too. That really sucks because the errors you see aren't obvious. There is a strange version of the quotation mark you run into a lot when scraping the web. It looks the same to the untrained eye but will break stuff if you don't catch it. Google sheets in this case makes it MUCH easier.

Great. Though I got a question what would you do if you got to a store front page that offered a price range that varies based on different options the user could pic but selecting the different options don't change the URL?

This is great but I tried this and for some reason it says “Imported Content is Empty”. Then I tried the same thing you did for Kobe but got the same error. Is yours still working?

great video I learn a lot but this term is not successfully applied in my scenario because i am looking to pull meta description but my code shows me "empty data" what is the solution? thanx

What would you do in the case that a website you're pulling prices from requires a log in? I have the login for the specific site i'm referencing, but what if you don't as well? More curious on how to do it if you have the login. For example, if I get specialty pricing from a hardware store that's only visible via my login, how would I automate that extraction?

Thanks for making this. It helps tremendously. My one question is, is it a different function to pull in a chart/graph of a stocks trend? I tried importxml and followed the steps and i get an error (formula parse error). Any help?

Very interesting and useful. Will it auto refresh the page so you can see it update in real time? Or do you have to manually refresh the page somehow?

Remember to check the correctness of the URL and XPath. Additionally, keep in mind that some websites may prevent or restrict access through the IMPORTXML function due to security restrictions or to prevent unauthorized web scraping. If the issue persists, it might be helpful to verify whether the website in question allows access and data extraction using the IMPORTXML function. Also, consider using more advanced tools such as APIs or scripts for extracting data from web pages.

nice video, thanks for posting! I've got two questions. 1) I get a N/A cell and the error is "could not fetch the url". What is the cause of this and is there any workaround? 2- Is there any way with this method to see the values changing in real time? thank you!

When I try to pull prices from Etsy, it comes up as "Price: $1.70 Loading" instead of "$1.70". Is there a way to get just the price, or will I just have to deal with it? It also only works sometimes with Etsy, the xpath doesn't seem to be the same on every page and I can't always find the right part to highlight... It's similar with Amazon, if the price is $5.27 the $, 5, and 27 seem to be on different parts of the code so I can't figure out what to paste

Hey man, really like you videos so keep it up. Also like the other i too am having an error with yahoo. I have been trying to import tables off their site and when i copy paste the site and find the table number it works. However when i delete the url to input the cell where i change the ticker symbol, all of a sudden it shows N/A. I have looked at all your videos on web scrappiing ect. and tried on my own with no success on inputting the cell with the ticker. And also with the xml fuction i am also not able to scape the differnt items from yahoo or other sites. i am on a chrombook but figured that would not matter to much, and also read that it might be a javascript problem but disabled that and tried but nothing seems to work. I am not a code writer so dont know what else to try, so if you are able to find a solution please post another video. Thanks
