How do I get HTML from website?

Hello. I am trying to make a sports app that gets live scores for college sports. I can’t seem to find a free API for this. My other option is to go to a webpage and get the HTML for the web page. Some thing like this:
This is the website: https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/172
This is the website in HTML: view-source:https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/172

How to I get the HTML from the website and use it in my thunkable app? I think there is an extension for this but how do I get extensions in Thunkable x?

Do you mean to view the site itself? This is easily done by web viewer component.

No i mean get the HTML from a website so that I can basically get data from a website and use it in my app.

Use web API it will get you the html text as the response and then you can search it or use it as you want.

Thank you for the help. There’s just one issue:

The project linked above works but when I change the API url to the website that I am going to use, it reads “undefined” in the label. Can you see if you can get the link to work. Here is the website: https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/172/

Thanks!
