Arduino visit a website?

Projects General Guidance

Hello guys,

I have an arduino UNO R3 and an ESP8266 wifi shield. The wifi shield I have is this: https://www.amazon.com/KOOKYE-ESP8266-Server-Expansion-Arduino/dp/B01C6MR5Z2/ref=sr_1_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1490615508&sr=1-15&keywords=esp8266+arduino+uno

What I am trying to do is have arduino visit a specific webpage when an event is true.

for example:
if(a == 1)
{
//visit the website
}

I cant seem to find any information about the wifi shield I have. Anyone have any experience with this shield?

What do you mean "visit a website"? Do you mean downloading some information? Or sending data to a server?

Take a look at my Beginner's guide to the ESP8266.
Or if you want to use AT commands (I'm not a huge fan), you could do that as well.
