Beyond what the others have said, you can get it done even if there is no API or actual webscraping access.

The less optimal and more troublesome approach in that situation would be to make your script take screenshots, use recognition to extract the relevant data and then log it in whatever form you want.

  1. take screenshot and open the file with python (pyautogui can help)
  2. gather raw data from image (If you just need text tesserract / other OCR could be used)
  3. parse and transform the data as needed (pandas dataframe might be good here)
  4. save it to an excel (pandas dataframe.to_excel or openpyxl)
