I want to display a webpage like: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Action/ta-p/35500.
So suppose I have the URL as a field:
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Action/ta-p/35500
What steps do I follow to output the static page?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
Neat idea! I already can see this being useful. Here's my take on it - basically calling this API to download the webpage as a pdf. There is some control of the printout with the various parameters, but unfortunately its 'all or nothing', so perhaps someone else can think of a way to limit it to just the article without discussions?
Alternatively, if you use the URL_created field, you can create a link which, when opened in a broswer, will download the file to the location the user specifies:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nbuwsrwj4tlvebf/AABoqzbJFMLSDXlx5csoOE-Fa?dl=0
There's a dropbox link to my solution.
Give that a whirl.
Hi @MarqueeCrew,
Do you mean displaying the actual website within the workflow in the Explorer Box, or rendering a static image to output as, say, a .pdf?
Ok, this is a bit fiddly but it works.
I'll need to send you a .zip as I'm not allowed to attached it here. Can I send it via IM?
First of all, install node.js
Second, unzip the folder I'll send. You only need to change the following:
Step 1: Open Take_Screenshot.bat and change folder pathStep 2: In the Alteryx workflow , change the run command tool parameters to point at correct locationStep 3: In the Alteryx workflow, amend "ReadOutput.json" filepath
No, you just need to feed your URLs in (you can make this dynamic, obviously, and you should then be able to produce static image outputs:
Let me know how you get on.
Thank you @mceleavey & @SophiaF for finding solutions to the challenge.
Can you please share the Configuration details for the formula and the download in the workflow above?
Trying to mirror and make this work:
Yes, @mceleavey I would like to download the daily stock price after closing and have the webpage image to output as pdf. Can this be done?
Thanks so much for this @SophiaF I tweaked your workflow to fit my problem. This is going to save my unit countless man/woman hours going forward.
