Web Scraping - Get dashboard from a website

[sayali_deshmukh]

Hi,

We have a website which shows status of van available in the form of dashboard.

Can we show the same dashboard in PowerBI using Web scraping or by any other method?

@sayali_deshmukh ,

You can only scrapy the raw data from the website(e.g.: the value data and data like html element). You can use the built-in web connector to achieve web data source. 

In addtion, if the web page is multiple, I would suggest you refer to blog below:

Hi @v-yuta-msft 

Thank you for your reply.

I went through the post. It was really helpful.

However, I was looking for showing the webpage as it is in the powerbi report.

I was able to do this by using HTML Viewer from Custom Visual Marketplace.

@sayali_deshmukh you can surely web page as a data source. Is it public website or there is a login to read the data?

Login is required to view the data.
