How does one handle missing elements on pages?

❓Help and questions

Hi; newbie here trying to scrape zillow property details; I notice that some listings have addition elements e.g. Dining room, Other rooms etc while other properties do not have them. Result is the data is placed in the wrong fields.

It s likely to be common across all sites but what solution does Bardeen have to counter this scenario?

Thanks in advance

Hi @avidchatai, Welcome to the Bardeen Community :slight_smile:

There are several Bardeen built scraper templates I’d recommend using instead of using your own. This is likely happening because the behind the page html CSS Selectors aren’t being specifically targeted for the elements (Bardeen auto generates but isn’t always the most accurate). CSS Selectors are more advanced for super users who have a more technical background.

If you’d like to share your automation, I’d be happy to take a look and help configure it properly so your data is placed in the correct fields.

Thank you,
Jess
