In order to download a PDF file to my computer, I use this code:

Sub descargar_archivo()

‘Descargo un archivo PDF y lo guardo en mi ordenador.

Dim FileUrl As String

Dim objXmlHttpReq As Object

Dim objStream As Object


FileUrl = "https://sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es/static_files/Sede/Tema/Destacados/Mod_repre/repre_2_es_es.pdf"

Set objXmlHttpReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

objXmlHttpReq.Open "GET", FileUrl, False, "username", "password"

objXmlHttpReq.send


If objXmlHttpReq.Status = 200 Then

Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

objStream.Open

objStream.Type = 1

objStream.write objXmlHttpReq.responseBody

objStream.SaveToFile ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "file.pdf", 2

objStream.SaveToFile ThisWorkbook.Path, 2

objStream.Close

End If

End Sub

The previous code is useful for downloading a PDF file. Nevertheless, what I want to do now is to download a html file with all the images, buttoms, etc linked to it. I don´t get it . In some blogs some developers say that it’s posible to do it using Phyton or Selenium, but I don´t know how to use these aplications. What I know is Excel VBA. Any help will be wellcome.

Hi FranciscoRo, welcome to the board.

Please, if you post code, place it between code tags: Click the little VBA icon at the top of yur post window. Then paste your code in between. You will get better help that way.

What I don't understand is what you mean with downloading a html file. Do you want to download the page code? A html file does not have any images, buttons etc. Just code telling the browser how to set up the page and where to place images, the location of these images, etc.

The html for a page can be seen by right clicking on a page and selecting 'View source code'
For instance the code for this page starts like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html id="XF" lang="en-US" dir="LTR"
data-app="public"
data-template="thread_view_type_question"
data-container-key="node-10"
data-content-key="thread-1231023"
data-logged-in="true"
data-cookie-prefix="xf_"
data-csrf="1677944336,5d9951a6c0eef1e81788a8a50eb71017"
class="has-no-js template-thread_view_type_question"
>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">

Thank you for your answer,
What I mean is this:
This site is dedicated to real estate (houses for sale, etc...): https://www.idealista.com/
I am trying to research the market. For getting my data, I do this:

first step
Then, I capture the data of all the apartments and copy in my worksheet

Second step
When I select the first apartment of the list, the site drives me to this URL
https://www.idealista.com/inmueble/98924120/

There I can see a lot of aditional information: photos, comentaries, etc...

Let's now suppose that the apartament is sold tomorrow. In that moment the apartment disappear fron the site. Today I have captured already some data of this apartment (what appears in the first screen), but not all (what appears in the second).

For this reason I would like to keep in my computer that http file ( ) with all the images, etc... linked to it, so that, when this item has disappeared from the site, I still can have this infomation.
