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.

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

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