KNIME communication with Websites

[Precoliv]

Hi everyone,
is it possible to communicate with a webseite by using KNIME?

The use case is to sent keywords and arguments to a website to get the data I need and load theses data in a node afterwards?

Best regards

Hi @Precoliv,

that should be no problem.
If you want to communicate with a http/https Website you can look into the http nodes:

POST Request

GET Request

Then you can send the form data via a post or retrieve the response via get.

Alternativly you can use the palladian extension e. g.

HTTP Retriever — NodePit

Or another possible solution would be to use a browser automation like the selenium nodes

Selenium [Category] — NodePit

Depending on how familiar you are with http request the get/post nodes should cover the communication

In addition to the nice list by @AnotherFraudUser above, I will add one more node to consider:

Webpage Retriever
