Something has to be added to the extractors otherwise the
divelement will not be processed (e.g. class contains "news" or "detail").PetroffSky commentedon Jul 17, 2024
Hello! I'm sorry. My mistake. Here is the correct xpath:
//div[contains(text(), '30 Июля 2015')]
also the names of the months in Russian in order in two versions:
months = ['январь', 'февраль', 'март', 'апрель', 'май', 'июнь', 'июль', 'август', 'сентябрь', 'октябрь', 'ноябрь', 'декабрь']
or
months = ['января', 'февраля', 'марта', 'апреля', 'мая', 'июня', 'июля', 'августа', 'сентября', 'октября', 'ноября', 'декабря']

I meant that someone need to add a precise XPath target, using
//div[contains(text())]or simply//div//text()would be bad for accuracy because random dates in a text are often irrelevant.As for the months if you're interested you could add them to the extractor in a pull request.
