Data Scraping with list in excel - web-scraping

Question

I have a list in Excel. One code in Column A and another in Column B.
There is a website in which I need to input both the details in two different boxes and it takes to another page.
That page contains certain details which I need to scrape in Excel.
Any help in this?

Answer 1

Ok. Give this a shot:
import pandas as pd
import requests
df = pd.read_excel('C:/test/data.xlsx')
url = 'http://rla.dgft.gov.in:8100/dgft/IecPrint'
results = pd.DataFrame()
for row in df.itertuples():
payload = {
'iec': '%010d' %row[1],
'name':row[2]}
response = requests.post(url, params=payload)
print ('IEC: %010d\tName: %s' %(row[1],row[2]))
try:
dfs = pd.read_html(response.text)
except:
print ('The name Given By you does not match with the data OR you have entered less than three letters')
temp_df = pd.DataFrame([['%010d' %row[1],row[2], 'ERROR']],
columns = ['IEC','Party Name and Address','ERROR'])
results = results.append(temp_df, sort=False).reset_index(drop=True)
continue
generalData = dfs[0]
generalData = generalData.iloc[:,[0,-1]].set_index(generalData.columns[0]).T.reset_index(drop=True)
directorData = dfs[1]
directorData = directorData.iloc[:,[-1]].T.reset_index(drop=True)
directorData.columns = [ 'director_%02d' %(each+1) for each in directorData.columns ]
try:
branchData = dfs[2]
branchData = branchData.iloc[:,[-1]].T.reset_index(drop=True)
branchData.columns = [ 'branch_%02d' %(each+1) for each in branchData.columns ]
except:
branchData = pd.DataFrame()
print ('No Branch Data.')
temp_df = pd.concat([generalData, directorData, branchData], axis=1)
results = results.append(temp_df, sort=False).reset_index(drop=True)
results.to_excel('path.new_file.xlsx', index=False)
Output:
print (results.to_string())
