Question
I'm searching for a query for an excel VBA macro to get a webpage html code as string. I've found some source with getHTTPrequest but I can't register .net framwork system.dll or link it.
any greenhorn friendly snippet out there? ;-) Thanks!
Solution
Close enough: How can I send an HTTP POST request to a server from Excel using VBA? — It's even for Excel ;-)
Just use a GET request instead:
objHTTP.Open "GET", URL, False
MSDN: Using the WinHttpRequest COM Object - Retrieving Data Using Visual Basic
OTHER TIPS
Here's a compact function that returns the source of almost any specified URL, including HTTP and JSON.
(No references required.)
Public Function getHTTP(ByVal url As String) As String
With CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
.Open "GET", url, False: .Send
getHTTP = StrConv(.responseBody, vbUnicode)
End With
End Function
