I am using ImportXML in Google Sheets to extract url provided for a Twitter profile.

My Xpath (that I got from Chrome Dev Tools) is:

//*[@id='page-container']/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/span[2]/a/@title

I used similar Xpath to target, for example - the no. of followers for a given account and it worked fine but this one returns nothing.

I checked that path in Chrome dev tools and it returns me correct part of html but cannot extract the value....

I noticed that rel attribute on link is "me nofollow" - could that be a problem preventing from extracting value?

Can you post a sample xml of the twitter profile you're trying to import? – Brent D Jul 01 '15 at 23:57
Is that what you're after @brent-d? That is the part of html I want to target and extract the value of the title attribute. alti.co – Adam P Jul 02 '15 at 10:46
It's possible that the parent div structure is causing issues in the selectivity of your divs. Try getting all tags that match: `//*[@id='page-container']//a[@rel='me nofollow']/@title` – Brent D Jul 02 '15 at 17:25
