Manual Scraping with Google Sheets

Google Sheets can be a powerful tool for extracting data from websites, including Google Jobs, without needing to write complex code. By leveraging built-in functions like IMPORTHTML, IMPORTXML, and IMPORTDATA, users can scrape data directly into a spreadsheet. This method is particularly useful for non-coders or those looking to quickly extract specific pieces of information from web pages.

To scrape company reviews from Google Jobs using Google Sheets, you can follow these steps:

Identify the URL of the Google Jobs page containing the company reviews you wish to scrape.
Use the IMPORTXML function in Google Sheets to extract specific data from the page. This function requires two arguments: the URL of the webpage and the XPath query that specifies the data to be scraped.
To find the XPath of the company reviews, right-click on a review element on the webpage and select "Inspect" to open the browser's developer tools. Right-click on the highlighted code in the developer tools and choose "Copy" > "Copy XPath".
In Google Sheets, enter the formula =IMPORTXML("URL","XPath"), replacing "URL" with the webpage URL and "XPath" with the copied XPath query.
Press Enter to execute the formula and scrape the data into your spreadsheet.

While Google Sheets is a convenient option for simple web scraping tasks, it has its limitations. It may not be suitable for scraping dynamic content or performing large-scale data extraction. Additionally, the accuracy of the scraped data can vary depending on the structure of the website.
