CopyAttribute Action

Return the value of an attribute of an Element

This type of action will be created by Bytebot when asked to return a value that is contained in an attribute of an Element. A typical example would be “extract the link from the ‘download’ button”.

Example:

1
// On a page with a 'Sign in' button
2
const actions = await bytebot.extract(Attribute("The link from the 'Sign in' button"), page);

Example of returned actions:

1
[
2
  {
3
    type: "CopyAttribute",
4
    xpath: "/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/button[1]",
5
    attribute: "href",
6
  }
7
]

When executed, the action will return a string, or null if the value of the attribute is empty.

1
const signInLink = await bytebot.execute(actions, page)
2
console.log(signInLink) // https://example.com/signin
