Code to extract URLs from a webpage. Free and easy.

Extract the URLs from: https://pau1.substack.com/p/200-marketing-options-for-2022

First, we want to open the developer console and run some JavaScript code right from your Chrome browser. No need to have coding software!

Right-click in the margin of the page you want to get the links from > choose “Inspect” or “Inspect Element”

The console opens up

Paste the code into the bottom box like this, then press enter:

The Code

var x = document.querySelectorAll("a");

var myarray = []

for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++){

var nametext = x[i].textContent;

var cleantext = nametext.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();

var cleanlink = x[i].href;

myarray.push([cleantext,cleanlink]);

};

function make_table() {

var table = '<table><thead><th>Name</th><th>Links</th></thead><tbody>';

for (var i=0; i<myarray.length; i++) {

table += '<tr><td>'+ myarray[i][0] + '</td><td>'+myarray[i][1]+'</td></tr>';

};

var w = window.open("");

w.document.write(table);

}

make_table()

This is what we extracted, after selecting then copying and pasting the result here:

To use however you’d like. Put the output into a spreadsheet to get just the links column. Or display as above. (from towardsdatascience.com)

Here’s a tip you can use: When I am doing research for an article, I often have up to 15 tabs open on my Chrome browser. You?

I have been using this extension called One Tab. It saves all the tabs as a webpage that I can access anytime - rather than making a bookmark folder…

One Tab Extension link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onetab/chphlpgkkbolifaimnlloiipkdnihall?hl=en

From their Website:

Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once. When your tabs are in the OneTab list, you will save up to 95% of memory because you will have reduced the number of tabs open in Google Chrome. Privacy assurance Information about your tabs are never transmitted or disclosed to the OneTab developers. The only exception to this is if you intentionally click on our 'share as a web page' feature that allows you to upload your list of tabs into a web page in order to share them with others. Tabs are never shared unless you specifically use the 'share as a web page' button. Additional Benefits Depending on how many scripts are running inside your tabs, moving them to OneTab can also speed up your computer by reducing the CPU load. We have also had reports that this also contributes to your computer resuming from sleep more quickly.
