    Good Afternoon all,

    Hope you are all well. Mods - I hope this is the right section of the forum to post.

    I am looking to extract some data from a website some address and company details that are shown and the front end of the website.

    Is there a way to do this or anyone that could hep?

    Hope i have explained myself.

    Thanks.

    The process of web data extraction is called "scraping". Depending on what you need to scrape and the "defenses" of the website, the difficulty of this process is determined.

    You can accomplish this using PHP, cURL and some pattern matching. You need to look into this yourself, obviously, as nobody is going to write a script for you.
