    "User Agent" and "Cookies" options are not there in Advanced Search options for Web query.

    Is there a way to get this option in the Excel 2016, as I am not able to get queries from the NSE ( national Sock Exchange of India) option chain (https://www1.nseindia.com/live_marke...date=30APR2020).
    Does anyone know how to do this ? Since this is a mind boggling scenario, I would like to thank in advance to those who make an attempt to get this solution( for their time,effort and kindness)

    Re: "User Agent" and "Cookies" options are not there in Advanced Search options for Web qu

    I assume you are using From Web using Get & Transform Data tab.

    In order to query from JSP (Java Server Page) you'll need to pass on various header using "Advanced" option.

    First navigate to site and use your browser's Developer tool to observe the request sent to the server.

    Then hit "From Web" and choose Advanced.

    There you will supply required headers.
    Accept, Cookie, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, User-Agent. Some may not be required, but I didn't test.
    EDIT: If header option isn't in the dropdown, you can simply type your custom header name.

    Once connection is made, you'll pick the table as your data source.

    Complete M query as reference.

    Thanks for your effort. It looks like something workable but I dont understand anything, as I dont know anything about these things. Kindly upload a file so that the mind boggling problem comes to an end.

    Just paste in the M query code in Query editor's Advanced Editor mode.

    You may need to change cookie string.

    Do a search on "Get & Transform, From Web, Advanced" and you should find several tutorials and examples that you can follow.

    Re: "User Agent" and "Cookies" options are not there in Advanced Search options for Web qu

    For last three days I am working on this and trying to see many videos and read many things but it just does not enter into my thick skull !
    I have been able to get the details from that Networking page as under
    MAIN URL = https://www.nseindia.com/api/option-...s?symbol=NIFTY

    Accept- Encoding = gzip, deflate, br

    Accept -Language = en-US,en;q=0.9

    UserAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.163 Safari/537.36

    SEt-Cookie = AA80B1EEBE0BCE9DCE0838A5D748D4C5~D4uiQNXakpG6ZCRp576KI9QSS1OpfHU5dCdmVqPD100lB6omFlAOek6SFCIfwq7rZS3Eys+k78bkpZYcrpTWYnlCHXfpzciKgaQGJCfY33k4NuZf/M86dmyr9n68NfrlZ5JOT+3jG3M01brffTJvJB97RxnzkApCn7emltGk1FY

    But my excel 2016 advance options does not give me the option to choose "User Agent" and "Cookies" or "Set-Cookies" options.

    In header section. Just type in what you need.

    There's no dropdown for some of the header as I noted in my post.

    Yes that is a great simple idea, but it is giving me an error :- Details: "The header value is not supported. Supported values are: gzip, deflate, identity." The actual value that the system is giving me is :- gzip, deflate, br

    But from what I see above, you were able to get the values in your file. It will be much more simpler if you could kindly upload your file.

    Re: "User Agent" and "Cookies" options are not there in Advanced Search options for Web qu

    Just remove ", br" from your header value. br isn't one of supported value.

    If you need to replicate my setup, go into Query Editor -> View -> Advanced Editor. Then paste in the M query code. This will replicate my set up.
    No need for file upload.

    It is sad to know that people who are experts and adepts like you DO NOT REALIZE that there are ignorant people like me who know NOTHING.
    Sadly I have spent another 1 hr looking for that M Query section where I can put your code but I dont find it and so, despite all your help, time and effort I hv given up.

    ? Just follow my instruction the the letter.

    I'm willing to help, but not do all the work for you. You'll need to carefully follow instruction provided.

    To get to advanced editor... just google "Power Query Advanced Editor" and first 2 are MS article.

    Thanks for your help and guidance. I finally did find out a blank query and went to advanced and pasted your data, but strangely it is still giving me timeout error despite the fact that my internet is working well. What do you think might be causing the problem ?

    Thanks a lot of your patience, time and effort to teach.

    I have a humble request CK76. Can we transform your M code given above to a macro, which can then be triggered at will by a stand alone button ?
    I will be really grateful if you can kindly provide it here.
    Thanks.
