I'm making an application that recovers lottery numbers and displays them in a window. However I've unsure of how I would recover the data and the numbers from the website:
https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/results.ftl
How would you go about doing this? I have before done this but with a site that returned a String of data which I could use. I'm more unsure of how to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated and the technique (if there is one) will help me in a lot more of my projects!
The site provides a link to download a CSV version of the numbers. Just use that:
https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/lotto/results/downloadResultsCSV.ftl
It looks like:
