Hi,

 

then that is the issue. For me it seems like the website doesn't answer proberly if you dont specify a User-Agent (makes the request look like it comes from a browser).

 

If you don't have the header option you are missing out on some great things.

 

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel

 

 

I was having a think about extracting data from the following website http://ratings.food.gov.uk/open-data/en-GB

Could the API Tool within Altery be used for this purpposes?

Hi @Daniel_dup_81, i would need to click open a website, login using credentials and click a particular content and it downloads an excel.

 

Can this be done through Alteryx tools?
