How to read a dynamic javascript-generated website?
Ältere Kommentare anzeigen
Hello,
how can I read the contents of a website, which is generated dynamically by javascript?
If I use webread, I will only get the call of the javascript function:
<script src="JS/index.js"></script>
but not the contents itself.
Javascript is running inside the web browser (I use google chrome), so, can I read the output of the javascript function from the chrome browser somehow ..???
Thank you very much for your help!

Doesn't the website offer an API to access the data you're after? Typically, webpages generated with javascript are for human consumption and a decent website would have a seperate way to access the same data programatically.
If not, then indeed webread does not execute the javascript so you would have to automate a web browser from matlab. Not impossible, but not a trivial task either.

You will need to look outside of Matlab for what you need. One option is to use Selenium. It has a java library which can be potentially integrated within matlab code.
