HTTP Binding Query

Wobbly_Onions · January 16, 2021, 2:02pm

Hi all, long time user first time poster on the forums, I am looking at using the HTTP Binding to get a value from a website, essentially I want to login to my SolarX portal and retrieve the battery level. I can view this on the page and can also see the % within the source code of the relevant page. What I am having an issue with is setting up the channel correctly to be able to retrieve this number or any number for that matter, is there a detailed guide on using the HTTP Binding for such purpose?

Thanks in advance.

I believe the GET functionality in binding is meant for retrieving data from APIs. If that’s how your solar serves the information, it will work. I don’t think you can use it to scrape a webpage unless you write a specific transformation.
