    Collect data from specified website

    I’ve had this problem several times over the last couple of years, and I can’t seem to figure it out on my own. Google is my friend, but never the less it’s not really getting me there with this issue...

    I have a spreadsheet where several columns are designated to show different data from a website specified in a specific column. I have tried the Web Query option, but it proved/seemed unsuccessful.

    For example, from discogs.com/release/933699 I wish to collect the data in the attached image of this post.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, because I'm stuck!

    Re: Collect data from specified website

    After googling some more... It seems that a worksheet of this sort would send a lot of pings to the web server in question (Discogs here) in a very short period of time. The risk could be that one’s IP is banned even before finishing performing the tasks queued. Does that sound right?

    Hope anyone could give me a pointer or two.
