API for MetaEditor Handbook?

[Mustafa Seyyid Sahin]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to access the MetaEditor handbook via an API. Does anyone know if there's an API for this or another way to programmatically retrieve the content?

Thanks for your help!

Same content can be access here too

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs

if you figure out specific URLs to specific contents then you have your API access ;)

The following post was removed because I incorrectly thought that the poster had scraped the website.

Only afterwards did I notice that the user was referring to the Offline version of the documentation and not the online one.

I have already done it from the html version.
I was scraping with some python scripts from an offline html version of the document, it can be downloded.
BY THE WAY!!! AT SOME POINTS THERE ARE ERRORS IN THE DOCUMENT...
I collected all the functions, enums, constants, etc... and created an IDE in vscode, for MQL5 developing.
I was able to integrate the compliler, syntax highligthing, code completion, intellisense, colorfull filter on the compliler output, jump to the errors / warning lines, etc...

However, please be aware that reverse engineering the offline documentation may also be a breach of the terms. I am unable to confirm this, so please be aware of the ramifications.
