Anyquery is a SQL query engine that enables you to execute SQL queries on virtually anything, including HTML tables. In this recipe, we will run a SQL query on diskprices.com to find the cheapest 12TB HDD.
The read_html table function takes a URL and a CSS selector that points to an HTML table. The following query selects the cheapest 1TB SSD from diskprices.com and outputs the result in JSON format:
anyquery -q "SELECT * FROM read_html('https://diskprices.com', 'table') WHERE Technology = 'HDD' AND Capacity = '12 TB' ORDER BY Price LIMIT 1" --json
