Automate Web Scraping

Posted on by Dinerz 112

Hi Brilliant Minds,

 

I'm looking for some ideas to automate the following without a desktop so Power Automate Desktop cannot be used:

1. Navigate to a Webpage

2. Logon with site credentials (There is no SSO or Human verification checks as the site is internal to the company)

3. Click on a button called "Export" which downloads a CSV file

4. Save that CSV file to SharePoint or SMB or even an Azure blob

 

Any ideas?

    1. You can get web page content with the HTTP action.
    2. Since you didn't provide any information on how the login works, it's difficult to say.
    3. You can't click a button in a web flow, but you might be able to inspect the button's request and use another HTTP action
    4. Sharepoint action "Create file"

    An update so far on my progress:

    I used a Python and Playwright script to login to the site and download the CSV.

    I now need to figure out how to get the CSV into SharePoint so I can do some automation on it with Power Automate.

    How did you integrate Python and Playwright into your webflow?

    And if you have Python available, why not use it for CSV to JSON conversion?
