I’ve looked at the YouTube Videos which are kind of out of date because you’ve added several features to plugin since your 2017 releasal video and the gui options are ordered differently since 2017.
At first, I couldn’t use this plugin on my hosting because they don’t allow Java Installs on the server, so I had to buy a VPS and I had phantom.js installed without knowing what it really does, i made sure PHP DOM is running as wells
. . Before I pay money to someone on Fiverr < which is almost impossible to find anyone that has worked with this plugin before < only ever heard of it’s competitor on Themeforest. Can you tell me how to do what it is I need? I’m sorry I’m a kinasthetic learner.
I figured if I can only buy one plugin It would be Crawlomatic as it can do what it is your other plugins do.1. Scrape aliexpress products
<Scrape Aliexpress Product into Woocommerce such as < Scrape photos, Product title, Product Description with graphs and photos, Product Variations w/assigned photo to variation in this example would be 1-24 labeled styles, how to scrape sizes small, medium, large sizes, Product Prices. Everything basically needed for a woocommerce product to be posted <

<Learn how to search something in Aliexpress, scrape information from it like above product, then scrape related products in same fashion as stated above and the amount of products or items I wish to scrape then post.
< Number 3 same with ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=+nike+shoes&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1
How to scrape and post items based on search and buy it now feature and scrape related items with needed information, Product Photos, variations, and sizes, description, and most importantly price and put into product form on Woocommerce. Also related items
How to also search anything and pick result one and scrape from that point to as long as I wish.
>4 how to scrape articles, their feature images and related articles
>5 scrape image from Imgur Based on search, like cat meme < not that all the time, just example.
Scrape it’s name, photo, and scrape either result or related photos to as many pages as I wish.
And within ali express scrape product post is there a way to have a secret link to the product so when someone orders I will know where to buy?
I wish there was full blown concrete tutorials on this but so many adaptations to Crawlomatic I’m confused on what needs to be done as my attempts didn’t yield results. I seen Youtube channel but vids aren’t separated into order, unsure if 2017 version is up to date. Wish there was easy solution. Until you answer I’ll keep trying. I tried hiring people from fiverr but nobody used this before.
I will patiently await your reply.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your purchase.
I am sorry for some of the older videos that I have for the Crawlomatic plugin, this is because I implemented the Crawlomatic plugin back in 2017 and since then, I am constantly working on it and making new updates for it and fixing bugs that my customers report. I also have a textual documentation of the plugin, please check it here: https://coderevolution.ro/docs/crawlomatic
To be honest, I did not put accent on the textual documentation of the plugin, customers never asked for it before (yes, you are the first who does this 🙂 ) – I tried to create as many video tutorials as I could for the plugin, doing a new one for each feature I added to the plugin.
Regarding the crawling of the sites you mentioned, the first requirement that I would like to point out is that for the plugin to have phantomjs or puppeteer installed on your site. I am not sure if you say this tutorial video that I created, which is showing how to install it on your server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWuI1mdIHwA
This is usually done by your hosting provider’s support, so I would suggest that you contact them and ask for help for the installation of phantomjs or puppeteer. These are “headless browsers” that the plugin can use to process pages that have also content that is loaded after the page is loaded, using JavaScript.
If you don’t manage to do this, I can help with some more resources, depending on the server OS version you are using.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.

First off my Hosting doesn’t allow Java on their shared wordpress hosting.
So I bought VPS. I then had someone migrate my old wordpress to new server and had this person install Phantom.js via SSH onto the cpanel < I don’t know where the path is.
I initially asked my hosting to help me, they said the Java would conflict with things they have running on their Shared servers for wordpress hosting. Then they told me that they can never help me with Phantom.JS because its something they didn’t install nor approve of. I can give you login to my hosting and have you ask them once again to hopefully recapture the response
I have Phantom.js installed on server via SSH as per your tutorial, not sure where path is.
What do I do now about this scraping. I also downloaded a woocommerce add on where it offers product variations as images or colors. When I tried scrape ebay auction < which didn’t work. I used another scraper and was able to get the auction but not the Product variations like size, color and use product pictures as product variation.
So I have Phantom.js installed how do I get to scraping. My site is pretty bare and I paid fiverr WordPress techs that offer your competitors services by building Automatic WordPress Blogs. As this was closest service I could find on fiverr. None of them could do what I wanted and wasted money from them not being familiar with Crawlomatic.
I promise when I figure out Crawlomatic I’ll do voiceovers to Videos either you make or I make for up to date information. Cause usually I learn through watching someone on YouTube havn’t been able to do this. I do professional voice overs and a recording artist.
NEway need help with the scraping.

I promise from not having a clearcut way to scrape as seeing from all the update information, Crawlomatic being updated with this, crawlomatic being updated with that, that it for sure is neglecting your future sales not having clearcut tutorials starting from first action to last action that results in scraping. And from not having these tutorials the decision to buy falls back on your competitors < I first bought octolooks and I demanded a refund shortly after because they false advertised < they scrape a page on Aliexpress < it integrates product and variations into WordPress, I buy it, tried doing that, and am told it’s one of the websites that Octolooks cannot scrape…. They refuse to refund me and have to go through whole process of doing it. I just want to scrape some stuff now accurately.
As for the doc file you posted that’s first thing I went to and read but got confused from YouTube videos. I’m also not sure where my phantom.js path is, this is 3rd time I ever hosted a vps and forgot alot of stuff about it. But few things I’m unsure of < how to get cookie information from my browser for said websites I just posted.
It got to point of me paying people on fiverr and having no go, that I just ended up applying for ALiexpress affiliate so I can get access to the API and use another 3rd party scraper that involves ebay and aliexpress < havnt been able to get it to work cause I’m not approved yet.
So I’m left with here to get info on how to scrape these sites, figure to buy the plugin cause Ill get support and be taught how to scrape.
