Hello,

Long story short, I need to transfer data from a web page, to an excel spread sheet, for multiple businesses. I am doing this manually by hand, and as you can picture it gets old fast.
Is there anyway to do this with a script or program? If so, I am willing to pay for it. I can also give more information if you need it to determine if its possible

Thanks,
John

absolutely, what you are talking about is called "scraping" or "web scraping". There are premade tools to do this, or there are lots of different libraries that could help if you want to do some coding yourself (or someone else). For example, the one I'm most familiar with is:
