Question

I would like to import data into a Google Document each day automatically without having to do it manually. I have about 50 numbers I need to import, each from a different page. One looks like this: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/sweatingthebigstuff.com

I want the 244,604 imported into my document and to refresh automatically. Once I get the code for doing it once, I'll be able to repeat it for the other information too.

Any ideas?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Google Spreadsheets has developer APIs for .NET, Java, PHP and Python. So just screen-scrape the Alexa page and update the document via the API, in the language of your choice.
