Hi,
Maybe you can set up a webservice invocation, with the help of this article: www.stambia.org/doc/65-technologies/web-...-an-http-get-service
How to do this will depend on the data structure presented by the web page (json, xml, html, xhtml, raw text...), and also depend on the input parameters.

Another solution may be to use a Scripting action to download the page content to a local file, and then parse this file's content. See this forum post, there is an example of a download process: www.stambia.org/kunena/designer-question...te-automatically#565

I hope this helps.
