Welcome to the Make community!
For web scraping alternatives, some apps you can use are ScrapeNinja to get content from the page.
I’ve used ScrapeNinja, and you can use jQuery-like selectors there in the extractor function.
ScrapeNinja also can run the page in a web-browser so it closely emulates what users see, as opposed to just the raw page HTML fetched from the HTTP module.
If you want an example, take a look at Grab data from page and url - #5 by samliew
Alternatively, you can try searching for specific APIs on RapidAPI. It’s quite easy to do the initial set-up.
How to call an API on RapidAPI
Use the HTTP “Make an API Key Auth Request” module.
Create a new keychain connection and insert your RapidAPI API Key.
Key: <YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY>
API Key parameter name: X-RapidAPI-Key
You can reuse this RapidAPI keychain for all API calls to RapidAPI, you’ll just need to change the X-RapidAPI-Host value based on the API you are calling.
