Hi,

I do have a question for anyone that experience about extracted information from a website . 

I have a geodatabase that I set it up as a field with Domains.

The project I am working on is Campground for my Forest here we have many campgrounds.  I work on about 18 campground so far…

My question is can I go to Recreation.gov site and select a campground using in FME ?

 

For example, in the search box , type Colorado Campground and then it turns to new page and you will see the campground map that has all the Site number you can pick.

So click on number three and then click View details...which will bring another page and it gives you all the information about that site number…

That is what I plan to use this…I have done input all the information into my geodatabase  there.

 

Will HTMLExtractor work for this type of thing ?

 

Am I making myself clear 

 

Thanks !

 

Hey  Never mind. No problem solved yet however, that site has an excel file that  I can download has all the information I need…

Otherwise you can drop me a message ….

I have 2024.1.1 

I just found out that our agency has a contractor that works for FME ….

 

 

Hi ​@probert1968! 

Great to hear you found a working solution with the Excel file download, which is likely the easiest and most reliable approach for this type of data!
 

If I understand your use case correctly, I don’t think the HTMLExtractor approach would have worked. These transformers work best with information contained in static pages, and they can't interact with JavaScript or extract dynamically loaded content - which Recreation.gov likely uses for its search functionality and interactive maps.

If you want, maybe sharing a workspace might help the community understand your use case a bit more and suggest alternative solutions. 😊
