Hello,

Cannot quite work out what I am doing wrong to pull the initial price from the website listed below. It should be £585 but it is falling down on the code:

Code:
price = html.getElementsByID("_tyxjp1").innerText

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

VBA Code:
Sub Get_Web_Data()

Dim request As Object
Dim response As String
Dim html As New HTMLDocument
Dim website As String
Dim price As Variant

website = "https://www.airbnb.co.uk/s/Cardiff-city-centre--Cardiff/homes?adults=4&place_id=ChIJE5-LOrccbkgRzfLvM7ow5xU&checkin=2022-06-18&checkout=2022-06-19&tab_id=home_tab&refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&query=Cardiff%20city%20centre%2C%20Cardiff&flexible_trip_lengths%5B%5D=one_week&date_picker_type=calendar&source=structured_search_input_header&search_type=filter_change&ne_lat=51.49207564654211&ne_lng=-3.1483986320495774&sw_lat=51.468395512898894&sw_lng=-3.2042314949035813&zoom=14&search_by_map=true&room_types%5B%5D=Entire%20home%2Fapt"

Set request = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

request.Open "GET", website, False

'fresh data
'request.SetRequestHeader "If-Modified-Since", "Sun, 22 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT"

request.send

response = StrConv(request.responseBody, vbUnicode)

html.body.innerHTML = response

price = html.getElementsByID("_tyxjp1").innerText

MsgBox price

End Sub
 
My demo workbook can be downloaded from here: ABnB_Demo.xlsm

I an using Sub ABBInfoV44 and now I REALIZE that in my message #17 I published Sub ABBInfoV33, the same version that didn't work the day before :mad:

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Thank you for the feedback
And, btw, for those that don't want to download the demo file, this is the code for the unpublished Sub ABBInfoV44:
VBA Code:
