Getting info from HTML page source code

[airhar14]

Hi,

I would like to ask if there is any way to retrieve information such as "sold by" which seller, and how much is the selling price?

Thanks so much in advance!

Regards,

FOr this purpose I recommend using MSHTML library. You just have to know the id of an element you are looking for.

    Sub Main()
        Dim xhr As MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
        Dim doc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
        Dim spanElement as MSHTML.IHTMLElement
    
        Set xhr = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
    
        With xhr


            .Open "GET", "http://www.lazada.com.ph/samsung-qualcomm-quick-charger-30-wireless-charging-pad-forsamsung-s7s7-edge-black-5407464.html?spm=a2o4l.category-011126000000.0.0.N1i7oJ&ff=1&sc=Ebpi", False
            .send


            If .readyState = 4 And .Status = 200 Then
                Set doc = New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
                doc.body.innerHTML = .responseText
            Else
                MsgBox "Error" & vbNewLine & "Ready state: " & .readyState & _
                vbNewLine & "HTTP request status: " & .Status
            End If


        End With
    
        Set spanElement = doc.getElementById("special_price_box")
        Console.WriteLine(spanElement.innerText)
    End Sub

Thanks Amadeuszi!

However i cant seem to output the information retrieved from the code.
I just know the basic excel VBA, if i want to study MSHTML library, where do you recommend that i look into?

Thanks again!
