Hi there, I am trying to extract links from this page Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme - Maps using the methods posted on this forum as well as from the official documentation HTMLExtractor (safe.com), however there is zero total features read, meaning no output. Would this be due to the way the site is structured? I am specifally trying to extract the urls for the PDF maps on the left, and output to a SQL table and link to our GIS, as these links change every so often.
Regards,
Josh
Hi Josh,
You are correct that the htmlextractor is not the best used in this webpage. If you have a look at the calls that are happening (Developer Tools in your browser), you will see a call that has all this detail:
https://api.app.planning.vic.gov.au/planning/v2/pdfmaps/scheme/morn
Which returns json and you can break that down.
The attached process will give you all the details in that pane, and you can use the “url” attribute added to https://planning-schemes.app.planning.vic.gov.au to get all the pdfs
Cheers,
Todd
Thanks Todd. That’s great. I’ll make a couple of tweaks and I can use this to output to a SQL table.
Thanks again.
Josh
