URL to Rendered HTML API with GrabzIt
Use GrabzIt’s Rendered HTML API to execute a URL or HTML snippet in a browser instance and return the processed HTML to your code for further processing.
Do you need to get the result of a web page after JavaScript has been executed? Perhaps because you have written an app to scrape the web and need to return the rendered HTML that a browser will produce. Rather than just the raw HTML of a web page. Then this is the API for you! You can also use this feature in our Screenshot Tool allowing you to get rendered HTML without writing any code.
Remember you may need to use a delay to give any JavaScript on the page time to render.
Try the demo to see how our API converts any URL to rendered HTML Just enter the URL of a web page and click GrabzIt. Then once complete a HTML file containing the rendered HTML of that web page will be automatically downloaded.
Or Convert PDF to HTML
As a bonus this API can even convert a URL of a PDF to HTML. There are a lot of complexities in parsing PDF documents. But GrabzIt has created heuristic rules which handles most of these issues to generate simplified HTML documents.
While the URL to Rendered HTML API won't generate a perfect representation of the original PDF it still quite closely matches the original. This also allows you to convert PDF documents to other formats such as DOCX, by first converting the PDF to HTML. Then converting the HTML to DOCX. To get started and to convert a PDF to HTML just pass the URL of the PDF as shown in the examples below.
