Hi

 

I had to create a script to be able to webscrape a web page using Selenium. I would like to be able to launch the script from FME but I don't know how to do it.

If I share the script someone can help me ?

 

thx

FME has the SystemCaller - https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/systemcaller.htm

This can trigger an external application/script.

You could also embedded the complete Python logic in a PythonCaller.

 

The former is more of a fire and forget approach. You can have FME wait for it to finish but you don’t get much feedback/integration with the logic and output. The latter allows you to output results directly into FME. You have more comprehensive integration and overview of what the python is doing.


Hi,

Sorry i always forgot to mention that before write the post I always check the documementation but I'm not a programmer so I've asked help because I'm not able to run the script from fme

Thx

Selenium isn’t a standard Python Library included in FME, so you will need to install that:
