When a user is attempting to create an automated workflow in their optimization journey, they may need to extract information from the internet or access a webapp online. This is possible with HEEDS through a custom Python script to access this information as part of an automated workflow. It is required that HEEDS be able to access and drive the webapp through a command line. Using the command structure of the webapp, the user can write a custom script to dictate where to access the information (URL), what data to access, and any custom required information. This is unique to the webapp being driven. A example using mathjs.org is shown below. The example presented relies on the capabilities of the Web App to be accessed, operated, and automated through its API.
