Scraping content hidden behind Read more button

[Bob]

Hi,

New interesting use case. How can I scrape content that is only visible after clicking a read more button. Is there any guidance on this. More people have probably encountered this.

For example this website: Jazz Café Tutu Puoane, zang & Ewout Pierreux, piano | Taqa Theater De Vest

See the read more button (in Dutch “lees meer”).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Bob,

There is a click action you can use in the single page scraper that will allow you to accomplish scraping content only visible after clicking the “Lees meer” button.

Here’s a video of me creating a playbook that accomplishes this for this website.

I hope this helps!
Thank you,
Jess
