Question

How to fetch the HTML Code from the website using Azure Functions, below code I have tried but not getting the result!

   CSharp  
   using (var client = new WebClient ())  
           {  
               log.LogInformation($"Fetching html from {URL}");  
                 
               try  
               {  
                  var response = client.DownloadString(URL);  
                   baseHtmlBasePageList.Add(response);  
               }  
               catch(Exception ex)  
               {  
                   log.LogError(ex.Message);  
               }  
           }

@NFSCoder-9821 Thanks for reaching out and apology for the delay. The query is more towards C# rather than azure function. I have leveraged the code below and I can see the HTML text return from my test webpage. I am not sure what the type of baseHtmlBasePageList that you have defined in your code.

#r "Newtonsoft.Json"  
  
using System.Net;  
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;  
using Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives;  
using Newtonsoft.Json;  
using System.Net.Http.Headers;  
  
  
public static async Task<IActionResult> Run(HttpRequest req, ILogger log)  
{  
    log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");  
   string url = "https://google.com";  
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();  
using HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url);  
using HttpContent content = response.Content;  
string pageContent = await content.ReadAsStringAsync();  
    return new OkObjectResult(pageContent);  
  
}
