  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to get data in a table form from this website: Article I. IN GENERAL, Chapter 30. TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLES, Code of Ordinances, Miami - Dade County

  2. What is the issue? I don’t know how to get the data from this website.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Nowhere, I have no idea where to start.

You can use HttpService to get website information, as long you know the websites contents and variables, which seems unlikely.

#3

I made a simple javascript (easier to work with the DOM) snippet (its messy) to get the list of the items.

Object.entries(document.getElementsByClassName("ListView_indent0")).map((x) => x[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].innerText)

How would I run this everytime a server starts?

#5

I would probably host this code somewhere on a server which would cache the result of the code for maybe a day. Then when the roblox server requests, then it would be at up to date within 1 day.

#6

Okay, I was able to get all the information I need, but how do I send this to the server?

#7

do you mean the javascript code?
