Scraping Members of National Assembly Profiles from Mzalendo

In this example we’ll be scraping Members of National Assembly Profiles using the URLs we found in our previous example e.g this profile

Member Profile Main

Member Profile Main

Member Profile Performance

Member Profile Performance

Member Profile Voting Record

Member Profile Voting Record

Since we need to extract multiple pieces of data from each page, we make use of selector groups. By default the extension starts with a single group and additional ones can be created using the No. 5 button as shown in the UI overview page.

The final config is the below:

We use XPath here since we want the same value regardless of the current container. This is necessary to correctly pair each voting history record with the owner across multiple pages.

The results are grouped as follows:
