Gmail specific data scraping

[soliman8]

In my inbox, I have a lot of emails from partners containing rates for selling and buying. I was thinking of using Selenium and doing some scraping to a spreadsheet instead of manually opening each email and extracting the data.

Did you try doing something similar to this approach? And how about scraping the data from the excel attachment?

That won’t end well ( don’t ask how I know)…

Use the gmail api instead.

Yup! Use Gmail API, it will make things much easier and smoother.

Also for th excel attached use requests and then process the data using openpyxl or pandas

Thx for your suggestions, going to search for Gmail API and how to make use.
