Website to capture details from other website

Topic

New Reply

Hi,

I am not too sure whether I am writing my post in right category.

I am facing a lot of issues while capturing the details from a website wherein users are working on a real time basis.

There are around 15-20 fields which needs to be captured from an application which is not possible to capture correctly due to manual intervention and incorrect formatting.

I want a website/hyperlink which can capture these details on one click. We can attach a database to it.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Can you explain exactly how that should work? I can’t understand what you want.

Capturing data affectively means saving the page to a local file and then reading the data from that file. This gives you a snapshot of the site.
To be able to advise further we would need a sample of the page data.

cheers, Paul

Take a look at web scraping to see if that fits your needs
