Get List

Read how to use the 'Get List' module

What it's used for The 'Get List' block can be used to select a list of items and its values. You can make collections of data for each list item. So wether you want to loop over a list of users, posts or tabular data you can scrape this data using this module.

How to use it The 'Get List' block requires the following parameters:

• List Item Selector: Fill this field first, you should use the selectorgadget chrome plugin to find the identifier that all list items have in common. This module will look for Item properties inside these List items.

• Items

  Items is an array and each element consists of three fields:

  • Element Name: This is is a variable and is only used in the response of this module. Here you name the variable that you are trying to retrieve.

  • Element Locator: Enter the ID or CSS Class of the target element. You can find this identifier using the inspector or using the selectorgadget chrome plugin

  • Data Type of the Element: Specify the type of data you are retrieving. In most cases, this will be text, but it could also be a link, an image, or a timestamp.

• Offset: Because the time a module can run in Make is limited or because there is limited items displayed per page, you can use the Offset and the Maximum Number of Items Returned to loop over dedicated items. With offset you can determine from which element you will start collecting. So when offset is set to '3' it will skip element 1 and 2 and start from element 3 with scraping the information.

• Maximum number of items returned With this variable you can set a limit to the amount of items returned. So if you fill 5, only five items will be returned. NOTE: when you have set an offset, this maximum number counts from the offset. so offset = 3 and maximum number. = 10 will return elements 3 till 13.
