Methods and systems for aggregating data from webpages using path attributes

A system for automatically aggregating data from a webpage using a path attribute, the system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• retrieve a first webpage of a website, wherein the first webpage is associated with a first media asset;
• select, from a database of a plurality of verified media descriptors, a verified media descriptor for the first media asset, wherein each of the plurality of verified media descriptors is associated with one of a plurality of media descriptor types;
• locate a webpage element of the first webpage by matching the verified media descriptor to a first text in the webpage element;
• identify a first path attribute of the webpage element;
• in response to identifying the first path attribute of the webpage element,
• generate a mapping of the first path attribute to a media descriptor type, wherein the media descriptor type is associated with the verified media descriptor;
• retrieve a second webpage of the website, wherein the second webpage is associated with a second media asset;
• identify a second webpage element on the second webpage by locating the first path attribute in the second webpage element;
• extract a second text from the second webpage element;
• associate a second media descriptor with the media descriptor type based on the mapping, wherein the second media descriptor comprises the second text;
• and
• storage circuitry configured to:
• store the association of the second media descriptor with the media descriptor type in a database of learned media descriptors for the second media asset.
