Web Scrapping

Hi,

 

I am looking to web scrap from the following site:

http://archive.stats.govt.nz/infoshare/ViewTable.aspx?pxID=e36b9d20-f56f-432d-8c0e-9fa43e9834fd

I am after both the year and quarter information and the road transport index number. Is anybody able to help me work through this?

 

I have tried the simple data source > web way but it did not return any tables.

 

Thanks, Shem

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I think you need to ask site admin to know api url which used to get data. If you direct get date from web page, it will get html elements strings instead real table records.
