Read the dynamic contents of a external website

Hi,

I have a requirement of accessing the trade data from the website-https://www.theice.com/marketdata/reports/172

daily.

Existing process -

Step 1: user will select the dropdownlist (report type)

Step 2: choose from and to date

Step 3: click on submit button

it will generate a report in the website with a download link.Likewise for rest of the report type the user will do it.

The above link is accessible to public, so no credential is required.

Note: Daily 8 reports will be downloaded by the user, depends on the report type

The above process should be automated using the c# console/windows service application, please let me know if any way is there to achieve the same, and it would be really appreciated if u send the sample code also since it is urgent

Thanks in advance,

With Regards,

R.Rajkumar

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for the quicker reply, the website does not have credentials, that is mentioned in my earlier post.

I dont understand what is the report function you are trying to say by passing parameters..

The entire requirement is automation

And to be more precise, the dropdownlist, from date, to date are handled in js files in the website, so it is hard to find the exact values using DOM

Hi Raj Kumar, If the external site has authentication, pass the user name, password, from date and To date as parameter and call the report function...
