    Question Web scraping my site info, help me for a donation to your fav charity.

    I need to automate grabbing Actual Tax Value ($xxx,xxx) info and Sales Price Value ($xxx,xxx ) from my password & logon protected website from at least 2 different pages and deposit the dollar amount into excel 2007 for comparison of the 2 numbers showing greater than or lesser than by $xxx,xxx amount. The number of searches will vary each day from 1 to a few hundred each time. I don't know the web site code language. Can it be done?

    Hello macpof,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    You would bneed to supply the page source for the login page and one of the pages you want to scarp the data from. This will provide the needed information to develop the code, if possible.

    How To Post Your Files
    1. At the bottom right of the Reply window, Click the button Go Advanced
    2. At the top of the Your Message Window, in the first row of icons, Click the Paperclip icon.
    3. Click the Add Files button at the top right in the dialog box. This displays the File Manager dialog.
    4. Click the Select Files button at the bottom middle of the dialog.
    5. In the new window Find the file you want to upload, select it, and Click Open.
    6. You will now be back in the File Manager dialog. Click the bottom Middle button Upload File.
    7. Wait until the file has completely uploaded before you exit the File Manager dialog.

    File Manger Picture
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Hi
    Thank you for the message. The site is my MLS real estate search site. I can search for active listings, sold listings and compare tax assessed value of the properties. I can give you the main login page and password with instructions on what to search for. I can only have one person/computer logged in.

    It might be helpful if I was online the same time you check out the site so we can communicate via text or email.

    Tomorrow between 3:30 and 5:30 I am watching the Final 4. Let me know what works for you.
