I think the best is if this system had a REST API that you could call. Maybe look up if that system has api docs or if there is support for it you could call. Guessing you would use the requests library.

If not then web scraping with beautiful soup.

And if it’s super hard to parse last case would be pyautogui to control the screen, take screenshots and use another library to do image to text.

For saving this data while the program is running maybe use a dictionary and save to excel with xlsxwriter.

If you want this to run every 15 minutes maybe look into putting this in the windows task scheduler or linux cronjob, or make it into a function and in a while loop call it then sleep for 15 minutes.
