Hello, i need to do an method that executes an HTTP get on an website and creates a table/excel for download porposues, like an excel with all the site information, i've tryid to use the use the GetRequest_Submit method from the HTTPRequestHandler for this, but i don't know how to do it properly, i am a begginer, somebody can help?
Google 'webscraping'.
Outsystems is not the most obvious choice for this,
but there is some stuff on the forge that can help, and there is a recorded video on it, if memory serves me right.

It's a blog, not a video
Hello @Dorine Boudry ,
Yes! It is something like that i'm trying to do.
Thanks for the reply and the post as well.
Cheers!
Hi!I'm a little confused about what you're trying to do, so let me get this straight: you need to call an API with a GET method to fetch some data, and with that data create an excel file and make it available for download? If so, you need to consume the API in the Integrations, located in the Logic tab. I'll leave a link below showing how to do it:https://success.outsystems.com/documentation/10/extensibility_and_integration/rest/consume_rest_apis/consume_a_rest_api/Let me know if it's not what you're looking for!
Hello @Lucas Bessa Linhares thanks for answering,
It's not quiet that, it's more like @Dorine Boudry Explain, an web scraping.
Thanks for all the help :)
