What I have tried:

I'm looking for a good C++ library for web scraping.
It has to be C++ and nothing else so please do not direct me to Options for HTML scraping or other SO questions/answers where C++ is not even mentioned.

C++ does not easily lend itself to such a task, as you would most likely need to write most of the access code yourself. The .NET framework has classes that make this quite a simple task, so you could switch to C# or try with C++/CLI.

Solution 1

You might us a HTTP library (or do you want to write it yourself?) for the task. Have a look at A list of open source C++ libraries - cppreference.com[^].
