Hi François, congrats for your practical tutorial. I did execute the workflow as shown on the tutotial and it seems that i cannot go to page 2 (therefore only 30 leads are scraped). Apparently the page won't refresh (message like "could not find..." on the yellow pages screen). Possible to solve this problem?

Hi @francoisfromoctoparse thank you very much for this video tutorial but can I ask you go more details using case scenarios and possible recommend course to take for those looking to further into scrapping. I am very much interested in learning scrapping especially with other tools. Thank you.

How can I scrape more information, like for example, I'm searching for construction companies in Minneapolis, MN, I would like to scrape the "services/products", "brands", "categories" and "other information"?
