    So these projects work for a few days, and then problems appear, right?
    Please attach a test project with which you can repeat the problem, here or in the forum PM.

    @ptt-bds said in Article scanning tool for newspapers:

    I am using BAS to develop a tool for scanning new articles on over 200 newspaper pages. I fetch articles from one of three sources:

    Articles listed in the sitemap.
    Articles available in the RSS feed.
    Articles displayed on the homepage.
    However, yesterday I encountered a case where an article did not appear on the homepage or in the sitemap. Instead, it was located in a subcategory.

    I would like to inquire about a more comprehensive approach to scanning articles so that none are missed.

    Your task shouldn't be very difficult to implement, but not with BAS. Instead, consider using other tools. If you have some experience with Python, take a look at https://scrapy.org.
    Scrapy, for example, has its own crawler spider that can gather information from websites, which might be exactly what you need.

    if you know what time is it, why dont set a timer?

    run 2 threads, one for waiting 14 minutes (or whatever), second doing your job.

    tell first one to set variable to false or true when 14minutes passed, and when that variable is false/true dont load any page in other thread

    (PS u might want to use global variables)

    Script can be saved with Project -> Save. No need to copy script content from script tab.

    The code runs too fast on the page unless I restart your software.

    I can't reproduce that.

    Click on the next button is disabled. Change mode to "Execute and add"

    You told that Is Exists is not working, but I don't see any "Is element exists" action on your side.
    You need to do something like this

    0_1496325530607_CheckExists.png

    Because there are pages which is deleted by author and there is no reply button.

    I also have problems with using coordinates, but when I cahnge selector >CSS> :nth-child(1) > p > .reply-email which is default, it works fine for more. Why do you desided to change selector from default?

    You don't need to call Wait Full Page Load every time. Just click here
