Web.BrowserContens takes an URL and produces the web HTML as text.

Cannot convert to table does not appaer as an internal error to me.

Can you share the M code please? Are you also using a Html.Table call? Like @lbendlin ?

let
    Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://tradingeconomics.com/commodities"),
    #"Extracted Table From Html" = Html.Table(Source, {{"Column1", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(1)"}, {"Column2", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(2)"}, {"Column3", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(3)"}, {"Column4", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(4)"}, {"Column5", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(5)"}, {"Column6", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(6)"}, {"Column7", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(7)"}, {"Column8", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(8)"}, {"Column9", "DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR > :nth-child(9)"}}, [RowSelector="DIV:nth-child(8) > DIV.card > TABLE.table-1720360255.table.table-hover.table-striped.table-heatmap > * > TR"]),
