View Source vs. Inspect Element - Alteryx Download Web Page

vplante

Hi Alteryx Community,

 

In my current workflow, I am using the Download tool to extract Source Code from a web page. 

However, it seems that not all elements of the webpage are displayed in the Source Code (ex: a text with hyperlink is not shown).

When I inspect this element, using the inspect tool in Chrome, I can find the text and the href in the inspect console.

 

What is the difference between the Source Code and the Inspect Element? 

How can I extract the Inspect Code in a workflow rather than the Source Code in order to obtain the bits and pieces I require and that are not displayed in the source code.

 

Thank you!

After further research, the Inspect console shows the code with JS DOM elements. 

How to extract this code with Alteryx?
