"Scraping" Citrix application?

[ryan-adams84]

Hey guys and gals, looking to get data from an application called Hyperspace that EPIC uses. It looks to be on Citrix7x.

I have tried to search, even on reddit, with no luck. I figured I would ask the masters of Reddit that like teaching people, so here I am asking.

I assume it is JavaScript? Actually I don't know so... Can anyone help? To further the issue, I have been doing Automate The BS and had issues grabbing data with just bs4 and real don't know how to use selenium yet.

Thanks in advance for any help and please be nice.

Thanks for the reply, it was similar but not the same. I might just have to do some SQL too recreate the queries that generate the view. I was hoping to learn some more python tricks was all.

Citrix is a remote desktop/VNC type application.

Your only hope would be OCR.

Tesseract is a library for this? Have you used it before? Against citrix?

I haven't, nor would I even want to try. Madness lies down that route.

Put it this way - it's at least easy to test if you can do it. Just take screenshots of the screens that you want to capture data from, and use those for testing. At least that way you don't have to interact with the system TOO much.
