Hi All,

 

Is there way in alteryx to scrap the dynamic webpages in alteryx. I mean the pages which has javascript and ajax requests. I know download tool can do static pages. But dynamic pages scrapping requires drivers like selenium. I am just wondering if any one has ever tried to do this in alteryx and the possibility of doing it.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would take a look at the data requests made by the page in question. Use the developer tools in Chrome (or which ever browser you like) and look at the requests made on the network tab. If it is made by JavaScript you should be able to find it within the 'XHR' list. 

 

Expect this would be a lot simpler than trying to link Selenium within Alteryx.

For complex web scraping, I'd try ParseHub and then import that data into Alteryx, then go from there.
