Hi All!
I am trying to come up with some code that will 'scrape' a couple of values from a website and save those values into a couple of Excel cells, and possibly autoupdate those cells whenever the website updates those values that were scraped.
The site that I am trying to scrape from is https://www.poloniex.com/exchange#btc_dgb
I am trying to Capture the top value listed for 'price' under the "SELL ORDERS", and the top value listed for 'price' under the "BUY ORDERS", which are located about half way down the page.
The problem that I am encountering is that, as the list of 'buy' and 'sell' orders change, the code to capture the values that I seek also change.
Sample code:
Any help from the members here would be most greatly appreciated!
