Hello

I am using Selenium in c# to scrap the data from a site.I am just new in selenium. I have created a console app for that. But I need to implement this scrapper functionality on the main website so that website's admin can scrape the data as per his requirement or any time interval when he is required.I am using asp .net web api at the back end in the main website.Now I am trying to execute the console exe to scrape from web api.

Could you please help me with this? What is the best way to do this and what would you recommend for this requirement?

Thanks
Vikas

I can't see any ethical reason you would be doing this.

Why would the website's administrator need to use a web scraper?

Solution 1

You shouldn't be executing external applications from a web site (security concerns).

Either move the necessary code from the console app to the web app, or reference the console app assembly in your web app and use the code as is.
