Hi @Zoe_ 

You may find the Webtools Add-on helpful here, you can use the custom curl command in the app to request your data and then parse it into a table, then use outputlookup to save it.

Here is an example I have used previously:

The SPL for this is:

| curl uri=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/livehybrid/TA-aws-trusted-advisor/refs/heads/main/package/lookups/trusted_advisor_checks.csv 
| rex field=curl_message max_match=1000 "(?<data>.+)\n?" 
| mvexpand data
| fields data
| rex field=data "^(?<id>[^,]+),(?<name>\"[^\"]+\"|[^,]+),(?<category>\"[^\"]+\"|[^,]+),(?<description>\".*\"|[^,]+)$"
| fields - data

@livehybrid- This curl tool sounds useful.

And @Zoe_  you just need to add | outputlookup <your-lookup-name> at the end of @livehybrid 's query.
