Problem httpClient.GetStringAsync(URI) load

Question

I have a problem of load with this method. In fact, I want to load a webpage to get the Html code. But the webpage doesn't have the time to load completely. So I want to add a thread.sleep() to this method. Do you know how I can do it ?

            var html = await httpClient.GetStringAsync(url); 
            HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmlDocument = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
            htmlDocument.LoadHtml(html);

Answer 1

My boss and me, we found the solutions. There is a function in Selenium that can get all the html code from a website. And since Selenium loads the page completely before doing any interactions with the page, the html code is loaded completely. Here is the code :

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
driver.Manage().Window.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1936, 1056);
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
var result = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body")).GetAttribute("innerHTML");
await StartCrawlerasync(result);

public static async Task StartCrawlerasync(string html)
        {
            var Links = new List<string>();
            StringBuilder csvcontent = new StringBuilder();
            StringBuilder htmlcontent = new StringBuilder();
            string htmlpath = @"path\Test.html";
            File.WriteAllText(htmlpath, string.Empty);
            File.WriteAllText(htmlpath, html);
            string csvpath = @"path\Tous_les_Liens.csv";
            File.WriteAllText(csvpath, string.Empty);

            var httpClient = new HttpClient();
            HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmlDocument = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
            await Task.Delay(5000);
            htmlDocument.LoadHtml(html);

            if (htmlDocument.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a") != null)
            {
                foreach (HtmlNode link in htmlDocument.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a"))
                {
                    Links.Add(link.Attributes["href"].Value);
                    csvcontent.AppendLine(link.Attributes["href"].Value);
                };

                foreach (string l in Links)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(l);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("C''est vide");
            }
            File.WriteAllText(csvpath, csvcontent.ToString());        
        }
