I encountered a problem today while trying to get a value from a website using PowerShell.
This is the website.
I am trying to get the number "90" here, that in the webpage itself is the value of "Downloaded" (this number might be a little bigger when you look at it if there are more downloads):Screenshot of the element i am trying to return
<span title="Downloads" class="mod-card-info-tag" data-reactid=".0.0.0.2.0.0.2.2">
<div class="mod-card-info-tag-label" data-reactid=".0.0.0.2.0.0.2.2.0">90</div>
This is the PowerShell code i used to try and get the number "90" from the element above (i know i should use ".innertext" in the end, i just used the get-member to see if any object was found):
$URI = "https://mods.factorio.com/mods/TpTheGreat/TpTheGreats%20Large%20Roboport%20Logistics%20Area"
$HTML = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URI
($HTML.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("div") | Where{ $_.className -eq ‘mod-card-info-tag-label’ }) | Get-Member
When calling for the element by tag name like in my code above, I get an empty object. I tried lots of things without any success.
It'll be really great if any of you could take a look and check if you are able to solve my problem. Thanks a lot!!!
How about another approach:
$URI = "https://mods.factorio.com/mods/TpTheGreat/TpTheGreats%20Large%20Roboport%20Logistics%20Area"
$HTML = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URI
$arr = $HTML.AllElements.Item(9).innerHTML -split ' = '
$myObj = $arr[1].replace("`n"," ")
$myObj = $myObj.replace(";","") | ConvertFrom-Json
$myObj.mod.mod.downloads_count
