Web Scrapping

Hi, I'm trying to speed up some process on my company. For this task I have a table with over 1.000 identification numbers. 

 

I need a process to enter this website: 

 

https://app1.bps.gub.uy/CertificadosConsultasAnonimasWeb/paginas/vigencia/consultaVigencia.jsf

 

Enter one of the IDs: for example 213206330019 and bring the data that is shown on screen. 

 

Is this possible with Alteryx? 

 

I appreciate ideas to solve this!

 

Cheers!

Hi @Nacho_669 ,

 

unfortunately the url does not display the query string when you input the number and search, so you can't loop through and use the number dynamically in the url to trigger the search.

 

So I don't know how you will do this.

If you can somehow find out how the query string is built, we can then force the search and scrape the HTML, but at the moment it's not possible.
