Issue Clicking through links and various cookie okay buttons

[Yonny24]

Had been using visualping for a few tests and it worked great but the paid versions for a normal person are excessive.

I have installed this on proxmox and looks awesome.
I am trying to find get notifications for a Spanish embassy appointments page that can appear randomly at any time 24/7 and disappear within 10 minutes.

I have loaded the url and added steps to click on the elements - 'Cita Registro Civil' for example.
Next pages you click Enter etc.

This Beta version of Broswer steps does not seem to be working even tried Xpath full JS and selector from developer options on the html page.

Sadly here it does not seem to work.

Any suggestions?

click on 'Cita Registro Civil' hyperlink and then click 'Enter' for OK.

Dont use the "Click x,y" step because the page can always move just a little bit between loads

Also, automation of these government pages might get you banned

IN any case, I can see that the <a href> has target="_blank" which is making browsersteps open in a new window which it doesnt seem to handle/support.. interesting bug, we'll look into it

you should just use the URL from that you're clicking on?

Thanks for the reply.
ah would be great if the bug of opening a new window could be worked on.

Even manually opening this a few times withing 5 minutes from a phone or my pc I need to change vpn country as it does block you, after some time you can access it again
There are some people who offer services locally here to alert you of changes so I imagine they are using a pool of IP adresses for that.

Visualping is set hourly and that works but hourly is not enough as the appointments are snapped up within 5 minutes or less!

The pages that we are clicking on do not open using the redirected urls. there are actually 4 steps with manual clicks.
Only the main page opens - the next 3 need to be opened by clicking on page elements, they will not open by pasting in the url. Tricky

I see it uses Bookitit (is the online reservation system that allows your customers to book through your business's website, Instagram profile, Facebook page or Google by Bussiness. )

May have to look into using Selenium and R. Done this before at work for scraping with headless browsers but very time consuming and as you said the frequency, if too much, would get me blocked

This is the final url that I need to access:

Your stock and price change alerts with telegram alerts is brilliant!!!! Well done

[Yonny24]

There are some sellers on mercadolibre.com.uy (bit like ebay) that sell a service to robotically check for these Spanish embassy appointments round the clock and alert you my sms immediately. around 20 USD for 3 alerts.
My sister in law used it and worked,
We'll need to do this as we've been checking manually for about 4 weeks now and nothing. Wife even stayed up all night as some appear at 2 or 3am!!

I assume the seller is using some kind of proxy or pool of dynamic IP's not to get blocked?? If we click on it manually many times in a row we get temporarily blocked.
