Metal Rates Scraper

The challenge

There was a requirement for the details of metal rates which were all available on different websites. If that data was to be used for any process, it was first required to be exported in a proper format from that website. This could’ve not been manually possible as the prices need to be updated at a regular interval of time as the rate changes after every period.

The Solution

So, this process was automated and details were extracted from all the websites. The script can be called after every certain period to get updated rates of metal. It takes a few seconds to extract the details of every included metal from their respective sources in a format required by the client.

Advantages

• A lot of time and human effort is saved through this process.

• Another similar site can be scraped with minimum changes in the main script.

• The client can get or update existing data within seconds through this process.
