XPath formula(s) to scrape author names and pages

Support
#1

I'm looking for a way to scrape author names and the linked author pages from a list of URLs. I've had a play around and searched everywhere and haven't been able to come up with a solution. I assume we need to locate a tag that contains "author" and return the text, and when the author name is linked to a url, return that as well?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you provide example URLs that you need to scrape?

Hi WolfeDen

Here's a bit more information: I am using Scrapebox to scrape a list of URLs relevant to a topic, and want to automate the collection of author data as far as possible. Unfortunately I am unable to add URLs to this post or upload a text file.

Obviously there is no one size fits all for this, but I was thinking something that detects where the word "author" has been use as an id etc, and then brings back the author name.
