Scraping JavaScript based website using HTTPClient

Posted on by 115

Hello everyone

I'm using HTTPClient (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/httpclient/httpclient-get-method) to scrape my vendors' webshops to update information on my items. Unfortunately, the site cannot be used without JavaScript, as it  is based on React, Angular, etc. Is it possible to generate the page first with JavaScript in order to then read the information. Or do I need to use a third-party headless browser.

Thank you and best regards
Nico

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    www.dynamicsuser.net/.../14

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.
