Hello to all,
I'm new to coding in iMacros. Maybe someone could help me.
I want to download several files from a website, but to download each file manually I need to do "rigth click" over an icon then "Save link as" and select a folder and click "Ok"
I tried recording my steps but the "save link as", folder selection and click "ok" weren't recorded.
If I save the HTML code of the website I see that the visible links that request me to "Save link as" are like this:
Code: Select all
http://website.com/ab/cd/kpppwo/file_xyz.mp3
When I go manually in browser to
http://website.com/ab/cd/kpppwo/file_xyz.mp3 it opens a new tab with a very long URL and appears a small player and an option to download it. If I put this long URL in browser the file is downloaded.
So, having the short links (from HTML code of website), how can I get the long URL for each short URL and save the long URLs in a csv file. Or how to download directly with a iMacro code from website automating the save as process?
Many thanks for any help.
Yeah..., I saw you were checking the Forum a few times, but hum, it would have "helped" if you had taken a few Seconds to read the Forum Rules on how to use the Forum "a bit correctly"...:
1- Question Mark missing in your Thread Title, you are asking a Qt and not sharing a 'How-To'...
2- CIM...!
(Read my Sig...)
3- You've opened your Thread in the 'iMacros for FF' Sub-Forum, meaning your Qt/Pb is specific to FF and/or iMacros for FF
only... But FCI not mentioned and you don't mention in which other FCI's your Script works..., or if you are using a '.js' Script...
(And if you only kind of "randomly" selected this Sub-Forum, no need to duplicate now, but try to select the "correct" Sub-Forum next time...)
4- No script posted, no URL, not much we can do to help you with as only "Info" some "website.com" (very useful, ah-ah...!
) + "some short then long URL to download some '.mp3'"...
Tja...!, this is a Technical Forum, you need to give a bit more concrete Info...! And we need a Script and some URL to be able to do any Testing...
>>>
5- But OK, did you try 'EVENT:SAVETARGETAS' with the 'CONTENT' Parameter on those Links...?
6- And/or, an 'EXTRACT=HREF' on your Link...?, + open that Link in a 2nd 'TAB' with 'URL GOTO'...? (+ Maybe re-extract the long URL with '!URLCURRENT' to re-load that Page directly with 'URL GOTO' again where you might be able to interact directly with the 'Download' Functionality from the Player on that Page itself...?)
But tja, difficult to give you some "Ideas" based on the scarce and vague Info you've provided...
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
