I have a scraping project... There is a landing address, from there some javascript must be executed to return the first round of details required. This page must be scanned to determine the links to be followed for subsequent pages of data. The final data extraction of this one to many page relationship does not need to be done, so long as the object can return the raw html text as would be displayed in a browser. Now for the awkward bit - I would prefer this to not be in FireMonkey - but using the VCL component set instead. Though - if it can be done no other way then I will be able to work with the result. I am not seeking a visual rendering - all must be done as per back-end code. Ultimately I require a reusable object that wil handle the given page, or can be easily modified for other simalr format environments. Will supply the landing address, the expected data and layout on request.

Hi, the only way to emulate web browser (to render web page with JavaScript) is to actually use one. A common solution is to use Chromium engine in off screen rendering mode (the page is rendered in memory). Pros: Most recent web engine, Delphi port supports latest version. Cons: "Heavy", 100+ megabytes, requires deploying many libraries within your project.

Hello, I do not know a way to execute javascript without using some visual browser component. Of course, it can be hidden. Possible alternative - examine this script and do its job in another way, if possible. It will not be fast, I am rather busy on another tasks. Kind regards, Maris
