I am scraping a website. This site contains an excel file embedded, that can be downloaded to the user's machine. Is it possible to scrape and get the excel file? How do we do that if so?
Shailesh,
Depending on whether or not a POST request is required in order to download the Excel file you can download it using either session.downloadFile or scrapeableFile.saveFileOnRequest.
Be sure to uncheck "Don't record binary files" in your proxy session in order to see the transaction of downloading the Excel file.
