Hi Fabio,

afair there are some examples on the KNIME example server. Also you'll find some workflows on the Palladian KNIME [community pages](https://forum.knime.com/community/palladian).

However, if you're targeting modern websites and web apps, I would strongly recommend to have a look at the [Selenium Nodes](http://seleniumnodes.com). These have dedicated functionality which closer resembles a web browser (in contrast to the relatively "dumb"&nbsp;HttpRetriever/HtmlParser). This allows you to scrape practically any website, as you're running an actual web browser from KNIME.

We will dedicate all future developments concerning the web scraping functionality&nbsp;to the Selenium Nodes. (this does **not** mean, that the Palladian Nodes are dead -- as Palladian is much more than only web scraping.)

Best,  
 Philipp

PS: Tutorials on the Selenium Nodes will follow. I know that this is currently a blocker for many users.

Hey Philipp!

Thank you!

Looking forward to learn more about the Selenium Nodes!
