I'm trying to get info off of a webpage using the HtmlAgilityPack in c#. My issue is that the page I'm trying to get info from loads a preliminary static page and then updates it with a .js script a few seconds later.

Is it possible to make HtmlAgilityPack wait for the .js script to do its thing before saving and parsing through the HTML code?

Or is there a better alternative?

htmlagilitypack will not process javascript – Daniel A. White Jan 23 '22 at 02:27
HtmlAgilityPack is designed for parsing HTML. It is not a browser. You'll want to look into browser automation tools instead. – ProgrammingLlama Jan 23 '22 at 03:09
@DanielA.White, that would be why I asked if there was a better alternative. – Matthew Despain Jan 23 '22 at 03:36
@Llama, do you have any suggestions? I've never used those types of tools before. – Matthew Despain Jan 23 '22 at 03:37
The ones I know of are: Selenium, Puppeteer. – ProgrammingLlama Jan 23 '22 at 03:53
