queries in websites via Alteryx

I would like to learn if there is a way that we can make some checks/queries in a normal web page via Alteryx. Instead of searching 1000 individual codes in one website, maybe Alteryx can do it faster.

This is certainly something that is possible from within Alteryx, though the way you will do this will vary from site-to-site.

 

My recommendation is that you start by reading the tool mastery series on the download tool (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Tool-Mastery-Download/td-p/67223), and also check out the self-paced learning that may be available around this subject.

 

Once you have looked at this, it's then worth doing some googling around the subject 'Web scraping in Alteryx'.

 

Here are some starting points.

If you then have questions about how you can apply this learning to your specific usecase, then drop onto the community again 🙂
