Web Interactions Node- Clicker Node downloading file to default local folder due to javascript

KNIME Business Hub
1

Hi

Trying to fetch PDF file of the forex data. The web page has javascript based loading.

Hence get request does snot work. While trying with Web Interactions node along with Clicker node, the pdf files get downloaded automatically to the local C drive default folder.

Can anyone help me how it is possible to push the file to Business Hub from the Clicker node itself or any way of injecting javascript to get the desired output .

The file is needed to be read on the workflow itself without downloading.

Thanks

Hi @mckiyer,

are you usign the Hub or KNIME Analytics Platform (KAP)? In both cases you need more advanced scraping node like seleniumnodes.com but I haven’t tested installing Selenium on the Hub (yet).

@qqilihq can you shed some light on the possibility to install Selenium Nodes in a custom executor on the Hub?
