macOS Download page content

[physicistjedi]

I am a cocoa newbie and have simple question. I need to download a web page and get its text content. I don't need any visible browser. I guess there should be a two-line way to do it, but couldn't figure out. Every webkit example uses links to interfaces. Can somebody help?

Thank you very much

Have a look at the NSURLConnection class. If you want something even more simple use:

[NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.yoursite.com"] encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

Wonderful! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

If you need something that doesn't block the UI use NSURLConnection.
