Ingest/Index static and dynamic web pages

Copper Contributor

What would the recommended method be to index/ingest standard classic HTML and client-side Javascript rendered web page content? Is there a native web crawler/indexer for "dynamic" web page content?

@Search720 there's no built-in indexer for crawling web pages so customers often leverage an open-source crawler such as Apache Nutch to extract content from web pages. From there, you can land the content in a supported data source such as Blob storage/Cosmos DB/ADLS Gen2 and index it. You can also push the data directly to the index via the Push API as described here.

 

@Search720 You can use the Norconex HTTP connector for dynamic webpages.
