I’m trying to pull URLs from a specific webpage and put them into a Google Sheets document. The site has multiple images with social media links attached to each one, and I want to create a spreadsheet that lists all these URLs in an organized way.
I’ve been manually copying and pasting each link but there are too many to do this efficiently. Is there a way to automatically extract these URLs and import them directly into Google Sheets? I’m looking for a solution that can grab all the social media profile links associated with each image on the page.
Any suggestions for tools or methods that could help me automate this process would be really helpful. I’m not very technical so ideally something that doesn’t require too much coding knowledge.
if u wanna automate it even more, try using Google Apps Script. its like simple coding but can get those urls directly into sheets from a webpage. u might find some easy tutorials online!
You could try Google Sheets’ IMPORTXML function if the URLs have consistent structure. I used this last year to extract directory listings from a business site - worked great. The function pulls specific HTML elements with your social media links straight into cells. You’ll need to find the XPath for the links, which sounds scary but browser tools make it easy. Best part? Everything stays in Google Sheets without external tools. Just heads up - this works best when the webpage structure doesn’t change much. If links load dynamically, you’ll probably need those extension solutions other people mentioned.
I dealt with this same thing a few months back when scraping competitor product URLs for market research. Web Scraper (Chrome extension) saved me. It’s got a point-and-click setup that’s super beginner-friendly - no coding needed. You just configure the selector for social media links and it’ll grab multiple URLs from a page, then export straight to CSV. From there, just import into Google Sheets. Pretty easy learning curve even if you’re not technical. There are solid YouTube tutorials that walk through the whole setup.
