So I am following this tutorial:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Web-Scraping-will-it-Alteryx/ba-p/429475?lightbox-mess...

And I am trying to web scrape 

https://www.oddsportal.com/soccer/turkey/1-lig/results/

 

However, I am unable to see the table where the data is present.

My chrome 'inspect tools' also does not show the table.

Am I looking at it correctly?

Or do I need to do more?

Hi @HW1 

 

Are you trying to find the teams and the score?

 

I was able to find them in the HTML:

 

Right click on top of what you are looking for and click on Inspect and it will flag in the HTML code for you.

See the teams and the score.

After downloading the HTML Code into Alteryx, you will need to parse it out.

 

Hope this helps you.

 

Pedro.

Hi @HW1 

 

The data is there, you just have to dig for it.

 

As you mouse over the rows in the code pane, the corresponding element in the page pane is highlighted.  Expand each of the sections in turn in the code page and you'll get to the table.  For this page, start by expanding the <body> element.  Mouse over the rows until the page is highlighted, <div class=wrap>  Expand <div class=wrap> and mouse over to <mother-main>.  Continue with <mother>, another <wrap>, <box-top>, etc until you get to <div id=tournamentTable...>  This is where your table starts and where you can start scaping.
