Reviews & Comments of SelectorGadget chrome extension

This accurately what I need the most. Anyone know how to scrape contain href link? I used @@href but doesnt work

Love this but doesn't seem to be working anymore

nice

Very nice but maybe needs an update? on some sites now not working

Huge time saver!

Absolutely fantastic! This extension has been literally saving me tonnes of time which I would have otherwise laboriously spent finding the deeply nested elements! Kudos

Doesn't handle dynamically added elements very well (at all?). Does produce specific enough selectors to isolate a single element.

Nice tools for web scraping

Appreciated your efforts sir, to save time of others! Hope we get more features in future and plugins like this in coming days :P Hope we Indians will be the next innovators in coming years :)

I need something like this to find unique selectors

So old and still working so great to find CSS selectors for tweaks.

Such a time saver. Really amazing work there!

I dont even know what to say... really good. As someone learning scraping... I use it to see what logic its using to get these selector paths. Super informative and one hell of a time saver. Excellent job.

Freakin' awesome tool. I'm a test automation engineer who struggles with the right combo of CSS selector for related objects. This makes it as easy as I can imagine. Read the very quick "?" help, and use in combination with https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/trysel.asp. Only thing that I care about that is missing from that website is :contains("searching for this text"). Killer. Just killer.

Thank you! Already saved hours on day one...

How do I use it with Scrapy???I pick an item and the box just gave me .text, how do I convert that into .css() something?

Nice!

cool

Drastically reduces my eyes' effort for scraping web pages. Although not useful for some sites.

The best extension of this kind.

This does not give me the full path, not what I am looking for.

So useful. I don't have to dig the source code to determine what CSS classes and IDs are being used for specific parts of pages.

It really only gives very basic selectors that aren't at all likely to be unique. This isn't useful for getting css selectors for testing and I would imagine on anything but the simplest of web sites, it wouldn't be any good for scraping either.

It's real helpful and saves so much time in developing and testing, but don't use it too much when you are going to have a interview.

almost never works on the pages I test... I'm removing this

Really useful! Function over form, right?

Awesome!, easy to use and very useful tool

This is a super cool tool. I used this in my scraping helper extension (WrapAPI.com). This by far the most advanced CSS Selector generator that I've found. Its code (https://github.com/cantino/selectorgadget) uses an extremely cool scoring system.

This extension is so useful it makes me want to cry. The time it's going to save me writing CSS selectors for my web crawling is unbelievable.

God, this is amazing. So much saved time. It's ugly as sin, but I'd be a liar if I said this wasn't one of the most effective dev tools I've ever used.

There is no copy pasting the results and it seems like it's not very useful if we have hidden or underlaying elements.

Absolutely gorgeous. Give this man a webby or something that says: You, sir, are making the web a much better place for humans.

Thank You! It is very helpful for creating custom styles or scripts for webpages and really speeds up the process and does see more more than my weary eyes.

So helpful in a support environment!! Thank you for creating this!

This is awesome.

wow

nice!

Great tool. Helped me get the job done fast!

This is amazingly helpful, though it doesn't take advantage of using '>' to select immediate child elements, so there are still times it won't be able to find a suitable selector.
