Hey Mahrukh, I would suggest reading this awesome article here then: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/webscraping-with-c-sharp/ Web Scraping is a delicate art that takes a while. Alot analysis of the companies DOM to understand how they have structured their pages etc. Also their DOM may change in the future so you need good error trapping. Mark this as the answer if it helps.

Gareth Bradley I have no access to their data layer. I just have to scrap Book details and reviews from that website by giving proper credits.

Gareth Bradley · Answer

Are these web pages yours? i.e. do you have access to the underlying data layer OR are you scraping other peoples websites?

Mahrukh Raza · Answer

Gareth Bradley Yes, I meant scraping data from different web pages of a web app for a dynamic uwp app.

Gareth Bradley · Answer

What do you mean "scraping"? do you mean scraping data from web pages?
