Web Scraping

[Cmoore]

I am new to web scraping using Power BI. I have had some successes of using the software to extract data from easily built websites and iterated over multiple pages. I am struggling with sites that are heavily coded in java where the data isn't fully displayed in a table. I am trying to connect to a website below and this is the M code;

l

et
Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://www.kirkland.com/lawyers?level=9ff51805-f16d-4d64-9794-6cff75200182"),
#"Extracted Table From Html" = Html.Table(Source, {{"Persons Name", ".person-result__name"}, each [Attributes][href]?}, [RowSelector=".person-result__main > A"]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Extracted Table From Html",{{"Persons Name", type text}})
in
#"Changed Type"

I am just trying to extract the person name for each of the occurences on the page. I get the error "We Cannot covert a value of type function to type list". Would you be able to offer any guidance to what I'm doing wrong on a website like this?

Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated.

Sorry @Cmoore - I don't think Power Query can help in this situation.  If you look at the result of the "Web.BrowserContents".  Show that Javascript is disabled, so you get a big text string.

The most interesting part of this string is the value="PE1...." part.  This can be read using:

 Text.FromBinary(Web.Contents("https://www.kirkland.com/lawyers?letter=A") , BinaryEncoding.Base64),

but it only returns the page structure not the lawyer data

It looks like you need to use an API to get the information.
