Exporting Events from Directory Websites Using Clay and Firecrawl

Hi - I have 3 websites that act as directories and I am trying to export all of the events into individual cells by digging deeper. Example https://www.prorodeo.com/scheduleclicking clicking into each website or profile). Is this something I can do within clay? I was recommended firecrawl.dev

Yes, you can use Clay to export events from your directory websites into individual cells. Here's how: 1. Use the Clay Chrome Extension to scrape data from your websites: • For pages with lists of events, use the "Select a List" option. • For individual event pages, use the "Select a Single Attribute" option with URL patterns. 2. Create recipes to extract event details from each state or subpage. 3. Once the data is in Clay, you can export it as a CSV: • Go to the 'Actions' menu • Click 'Export' • Select 'Download CSV' This process allows you to gather event data from multiple pages and export it into individual cells in a spreadsheet format.

To create a recipe for automating event exports from your directory websites, follow these steps: 1. Use the Clay Chrome Extension on one of your directory pages. 2. Click "Select Data to Add from Page" and choose "Select a List". 3. Click on the first few event items to help auto-detect patterns. 4. Add attributes for each event (e.g., name, date, location) by selecting the appropriate text or image elements. 5. Set the URL pattern (e.g., yourwebsite.com/events/:state) to apply the recipe across similar pages. 6. Save your recipe with a descriptive name. This process should help automate the data extraction. If you're still having issues, consider requesting human assistance by clicking "Talk to a person" for more detailed guidance.
