I need a tool to extract data from a website

Tags: It employment

Hello everyone,
I need a tool to extract data from a website into a spreadsheet particularly on this website, https://services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan/wps/portal/home/medical-directory/.
This is a part of my work task for a marketing company located in Dubai UAE
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

That depends on how the data on that particular page is structured. However, the link doesn’t really work at the moment, so I can’t check.

But if it’s a table, most browsers let you select the table and copy/paste it into a spreadsheet.

Hi kees_b,
The page is working https://services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan/wps/portal/home/medical-directory/ but it loads slowly.
I can not do copy/paste them manually from a web browser to a spreadsheet. I have only short period of time to do the task.

It loads now indeed. It didn’t when I wrote my answer above.

The page I arrive on lets me enter a search term. So I think the site lets me search in their database. Then your question seems to be: how can I upload data from their database. There is only one answer to that question: you ask the owner of the database. Since it’s a government database, it might be public data, and they might give it to you. But if it isn’t public data they won’t. Then that part of your task is impossible.
