how to trigger a scroll inside a website element?

I am trying to load the full follower list on my instagram using iMacros. I have tried all the conventional recording mode, but it doesn't seem to be loading/scrolling to the entire follower list.

I also tried the javascript scrollby command which actually works on the website itself, but it doesn't work on the "Follower List" part of the page.. :(

URL GOTO=javascript:window.scrollBy(0,20000)

This is the element i am trying to get to load:

Instagram Follower List

I am basically just trying to load the entire follower list, so that iMacros is able to see the full list and then scrape the data from it.

Solution

  • For Instagram (Facebook, Twitter etc.) web pages it's better always to use the 'EVENT' scrolling. Regarding your issue I mean something like this:

    EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="div[class='_4gt3b']" BUTTON=0
EVENT TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="div[class='_4gt3b']" KEY=35
