I am looking to parse a 'WinHttpRequest' response in Excel VBA to pull a specific line from the HTML response. Here is the code for the HTTP request.
Function getSetName(ByVal setNUMBER As String) As String
Dim oRequest As Object
Dim xmlResponse As String
Dim setDescription As String
Dim setName As String
Set oRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
oRequest.Open "GET", "https://brickset.com/sets/75192" '& setNUMBER
oRequest.Send
xmlResponse = oRequest.ResponseText
'parse xml response here
getSetName = setName
End Function
I am looking to parse only the line with the HTML tag 'meta name=""description""' to a string which I will later pull information from.
Any help or direction on how to parse this single line would be appreciated.
CodePudding user response:
Try
Sub Test_GetSetName()
Debug.Print GetSetName("75192")
End Sub
Function GetSetName(ByVal SetNUMBER As String) As String
Dim html As New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
With CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
.Open "GET", "https://brickset.com/sets/" & SetNUMBER, False
.send
html.body.innerHTML = .responseText
End With
GetSetName = html.querySelector("[name='description']").Content
End Function
