    Copper price from metal.com (shanghai)

    Similar to my recent post,
    I now want to get the copper price from

    https://www.metal.com/

    the value against
    SMM 1# Copper Cathode(RMB/mt)

    or the one that shows if you click through that link to

    https://www.metal.com/Copper/201102250376

    For some reason trying to use power query it doesn't show me the data.
    Last time Haluk showed me a link to some Json and that also worked well.
    If you want something done right... find a forum and ask an online expert.

    Re: Copper price from metal.com (shanghai)

    when i pull it up in power query I just get

    kind,name,children,text
    element, html, table, null

    changing the query to xml gives me nothing and text gives me a bunch of html including
    "The browser you using may not be able to browse the website normally. To get a better website browsing experience, we recommend two methods "


    I presume I am doing something wrong

    You have done nothing wrong. I have seen this many times and it will require someone with more skills in this area. I am not sure if this is a Selenium Issue or an API issue. Patience and hopefully someone with those skills will be along.
