Beginner's Corner / Need to Extract Data from a Website - Noobie here
« on: January 29, 2015, 10:49:55 pm »
Hello,
So basically what I'm looking for I wouldnt consider hacking at all, but I figure the knowledge on here could probably help me out with a solution.
So I run an online store, car parts to be specific. We have a supplier that has a massive online catalog and we basically would like to get all the product data they have for a specific make of vehicles.
The way the catalog works is you pick your make of vehicle, then pick the year, then select the model. From there you select a category of parts, which takes you to a subcategory where you select the specific part that is being searched for. Once you select that it takes you to a list of the parts they have: sku, brand, price, picture, what all vehicles it fits, etc..
This is the information we are trying to get from their catalog, basically a list of all the parts we have access to listing on our website. We just need a way to extract it so that we dont have to manually upload the products to our site one by one.
Any ideas how this would be done?
Thanks
