Title: How do I write a script to scrape data from a website?
Post by: NObama on February 24, 2016, 07:20:49 PM

Looking for something very simple:

Would like to scrape price data from MTGgoldfish.com and dump it into a csv so I can run some pivot tables in excel. 

If you've never used the site, go here to see what I want to capture every day:

Thanks!

If you look into the source code they call a java script http://assets1.mtggoldfish.com/assets/card-a6b4514e838532eb848e367ded342054.js to build the table.
You may could modify it and pipe the output. Enjoy my MTG Fellow!
