Hi everyone
New to this page, but thank god i found it :)
I have a web query which i found in here, which is af webquery with login. I just can figure out to use it to my desired webpage. But i might think the webpage is blocking it or something. I've tried with "password" insteed of "&password as well. im sry i can list the login details, but it is my copmpanies private information VBA Code:
Sub Login_WebQuery() Dim MyPost As String Const MyUrl As String = "[http://rigpoint2.ods-petrodata.com/savedquery.php?op=runquery&savedqueryid=19577&skin=rpv2b&prefix]=" Const PostUser As String = "login=******" 'Change user name here Const PostPassword As String = "&password=******" 'Change password here
MyPost = PostUser & PostPassword
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "URL;" & MyUrl, Destination:=Cells(1, 1)) .PostText = MyPost .BackgroundQuery = True .TablesOnlyFromHTML = True .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False .SaveData = True End With
Damn, seems a bit more complicated than normally! I made a VBA code that signs in and takes the HTML table. It would just be much easyer to do it with a query, and faster! and easyer to work with in pivot tables afterwards.
Are you able to get the query to go with the login and password details? It seems like (using httpfox) that it is navigating to this webpage (MyUrl), which is a bit different, but still cant get it to work, cause it goes to login page. Anyway to skip this?
Sub Login_WebQuery()
Dim MyPost As String
Const MyUrl As String = "http://rigpoint2.ods-petrodata.com/currentactivity.php?op=runquery&savedqueryid=19577&skin=rpv2b&prefix="
Const PostUser As String = "[email protected]" 'Change user name here
Const PostPassword As String = "password=Test1234" 'Change password here
MyPost = PostUser & PostPassword
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;" & MyUrl, Destination:=Cells(1, 1))
.PostText = MyPost
.BackgroundQuery = True
.TablesOnlyFromHTML = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
.SaveData = True
End With
End Sub
From the URL in you code, when we look at the source, the target page seems to be https://login.ods-petrodata.com/login.php. Also, there are two hidden fields required: site and uri. The uri is likely to be a URL encoded version of the original URL for redirect after login.
The problem is that it seems like the query makes a query of the loginpage, so i think it has to some how, press the submit button, or am i mistaken?:)
I dont get any error message, the query just takes the login page, and not the desired target page..
If these are the only input tags in the form HTML tag then there is no reason why the web query does not log in.
Also make sure that the URL is the target page from the form tag and not the login page.
If you get an error message from the VBA, what is it and on what line?
You may find, by looking at the source HTML of the login page, that there are additional variables required for the login. These can be hidden form variables with values or sometimes also session variables for which we must first extract using a preceeding web query to open the session.
