    Web Scraping - Fangraphs website

    I'm wondering if it is possible to grab data off their leaderboards without downloading it

    Here is the website : http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.asp...ter=&players=0

    The data can not fully be seen on the first page of the table, to receive the full data set you typically have to click the export data link on the top right hand side of the table.

    I download 5 different sets of data at least once a week, so it would be nice to automate it as much as possible.


    Thanks in advance.
