    VBA/macro for scraping prices from multiple websites

    Is this still possible/ does anyone have a working script for scraping from a site like Newegg or Amazon?

    Hello tylersfd2,

    I have code to pull data from web sites using VBA. The word "price" may not appear on a web page. What I need to know from you is are you looking for a specific price or all prices on page?

    A price will most likely appear in US dollars, but not always. The price information could be pulled by searching for the dollar sign "$". This why I asked for an example web page URL you want to pull information from.
