DataSource.Error: We were unable to retrieve the contents of the web page.

My data has stopped updating which i'm assuming is down to the length of the data?

The source is using = Web.BrowserContents("path to data")

error details are

ErrorMessage=Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property.
Parameter name: input

There is quite a bit of data maybe 1000+ lines. Is there a way round the issue? 

The data is coming from a School data manager called Arbor. The data is pushing out as HTML. If i put the path in a web broswer i can see the data so i know the link does work.

Thanks

Max string length of the received HTML is 32768 bytes.

guessing theres no way to extend it? The data is a few thousand lines and is going to get larger.

I'll have to extract it to an Excel doc in Onedrive and link the data that way.
