I am trying to import the amount of followers from a Spotify artist. The only problem is it's inside a react modular. I used to be able to get the full xpath from dev tools, however, I believe the react modular is causing any error.
Any ideas on how I could get around this to use import xml to get the amount of spotify followers?
Example link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Xyo4u8uXC1ZmMpatF05PJ?si=VGW1om-XTNew5VD-KQ-7xA
Thanks!

I'm trying to see if it's possible to scrape data from Transfermarkt.com to import into a Google Sheets doc.
Currently, I'm trying to import the team data from a player's profile page (see example URL here: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joao-palhinha/profil/spieler/257455) but in future may want to import other data as well.
I wonder if it's possible to scrape data in this way from Transfermarkt, but if it is, any advice on what I'm doing wrong would be very much appreciated!
Right now I'm using, =IMPORTXML(B1,"/html/body/div[3]/main/header/div[4]/div/span[1]/a") where the URL is in B1. I copied the Full XPath from the HTML, but have also tried this by copying just the XPath too.
It says Loading for a few seconds before returning N/A, with an error message 'Resource at URL not found'.
I'm expecting the result in this instance to be Fulham.
Thanks
I'm trying to scrape an income statement for Apple (AAPL) into google sheets
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/financials?p=AAPL
First off I'd like to say I'm new to using anything technical or function related for computers so sorry if its a dumb question but I'm aware sheets has built in import functions for web data and I tried using the IMPORTXML function and I couldn't find the right xpath for the whole income statement
So my questions are
Which Import function would be best for scraping the income statement into sheets
Whichever function is the best how can I do it.
Would I repeat the steps that you show me if I wanted to scrape the balance sheet and cash flow as well
Thank you for your time
It seems that you are trying to fetch dynamically generated data in the link you've provided. Import functions cannot be used or cannot function properly in dynamically generated data as well as in websites which data are being controlled by JavaScript.
I suggest finding another link or website that will provide you with the same data and can be fetched through IMPORT functions by taking into consideration the mentioned limitations above.
I am trying to get texts from the Grammarly application imported into a Google spreadsheet using the IMPORTXML function. To do so, I follow the required syntax IMPORTXML(URL, xpath_query), but it keeps showing an error that the "imported content is empty".
However, the same steps work fine to import data from other websites, and I am confused what might be the matter with Grammarly. Is it because it does allow data scraping at all, maybe?
Thanks for your help. 1 2 3
not possible because this is behind the login gate. google sheets cant read such data
I am using IMPORTXML to get information on USPS tracking numbers for my orders and I have been using it for about a month or so, it used to work on and off, sometimes it would not work and all I had to do was either refresh the page or add/remove the "S" on https, and it would work again but it has been about 5 days that it is not working at all no matter what I do, and it is a very tedious task to do manually, external 3rd party tracking apps won't work either because we need everyone to use just the sheet we have because not only contains the tracking info but also everything else. So is there any other way I can import some contents of the USPS tracking website that is reliable and won't stop working, I've seen some scripts here and there but haven't been able to apply them to my needs. Also if that script or workaround could work with other websites like UPS and Fedex it would be awesome as IMPORTXML doesn't work with them (it always says that the content is empty). Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to scrape some baseball data from a site. I need to projected/confirmed lineups to import into a google sheet. This was working great until this morning. Now I'm getting the error Resource at URL contents exceeded the maximum size.
Any assistance as to what this means or a workaround would be a great help. Below is my code.
=IMPORTXML("https://rotogrinders.com/lineups/MLB?site=fanduel","//span[#class='pname']")
unfortunately, this won't be possible anymore because the site you trying to scrape has implemented anti-scraping measurements. eg. none of IMPORT formulas work.
