Hi  
Is it possible to use nodered to get my bin schedule from my councils website. [https://adt.oldham.gov.uk/Forms/bincollectiondates/details](https://adt.oldham.gov.uk/Forms/bincollectiondates/details)  
I have to enter my post code and then pick my address to get the relevent info, so is their a way around this. Should anyone wish to try this, OL1 2AY is an example postcode (its not mine).

Possibly,

check out [this similar help](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/http-buffer-length/35235/2) I gave someone recently

NOTE: watching the various responses in the devtools network tab (as I enter the postcode and pick an address) - this URL (i copied from the network tab) gives you something like you want  
[https://adt.oldham.gov.uk/Forms/EnvironmentalHealth/GetBinView?uprn=422000009568](https://adt.oldham.gov.uk/Forms/EnvironmentalHealth/GetBinView?uprn=422000009568)

you would put that URL in a HTTP request then feed the result through a HTML node to pick out the parts of interest.

Note however, that `uprn` number likely changes on a weeky basis - so you may have to automate the whole process of requesting the first URL, capturing the values, generating a 2nd URL and so on.
