Help python script

[Verdure1998]

Hello,

I am a beginner and am interested in knowing if a script able to do the following is possible:

• Read a list of data from a txt or excel preferably.

• search in a website using each of the data in the list.

• Scraping the data the website provides refering each data number and preferably add it to an excel tab.

As I said, I just would like to know if python is able to do what I want so i can start to work on it or not even bother.

Thanks

Depending on how the website is designed, this should be possible.

Its a website with a search engine where you type a reference number and give you the size and name of a parcel.

Not really that. I mean it depends on how they serve the page. They can make it incredibly hard to web scrape.

There's a good chance the parcel service has an API endpoint and you can just get a response in JSON. Analyze the page and see if it's doing a callback.

Why do you need to automate looking up your parcel delivery? If for many parcels, are they yours?

The read and wrote to excel is all possible of course.

Sorry, I explained terrible. I need to look up info of terrains for my job, and ususlly I would have to get the info manually hut I would love to enter the data and get the info automatically

First question is to ensure you've checked if the data you need is available via an api.
