How do I get data from the Web update in Excel?

How do I get data from Web API in Excel?

I need to create a VBA script that will take a range of dates from the user and filter the Web API call using a certain criteria.

Then I will use .Net's DataSet library to import the filtered data into Excel.

Here is what I have so far: Function GetData() As DataTable. Dim d As Date = Date. Dim s As String = Format(d, "yyyyMMdd"). Dim url As String = "api.com/api/GetData/" & s & "/2" Dim client = New WebClient. client.Headers.Add("x-api-key", "API Key from here")
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest) Dim response = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) Dim streamreader = DirectCast(response.GetResponseStream(), Stream) Dim ds As New DataSet(). Using sr As New StreamReader(streamreader). ' Read the response body. Dim datareader As New Data.Text.StringBuilder
Dim line As String. While Not sr.EndOfStream line = sr.ReadLine() If Not line Is Nothing Then. datareader.Append(line) End If. End While. ds.ReadXml(datareader.ToString)
End Using. return ds.Tables("dataTable") End Function. You could try reading the JSON formatted response as xml (rather than a text file), and then loop through each node of that XML (just a snippet): Dim json As String = webresponse.

How do I get data from the Web update in Excel?

I have been using a Web-scraping code to fetch information from a website.

After the data has been scraped, it is stored in a worksheet. The code works very well, but I have a couple of questions regarding how to update the worksheet with the newest data. How do I keep the code running and getting the latest data every time I open Excel?

And how do I go about updating the worksheet? For instance, in my current worksheet, there is data from October 2024 up until the present. But I want to update the data for January 2024. So I should write a new code to search for Jan 2024 data in the website and update the worksheet accordingly.

How do I do that? I am fairly new to Excel so please bear with me. Any help is much appreciated! You can use the "Get External Data" option in Excel, and point it to an external web URL. That will then give you a URL that you can type into your scraper code. (It will also give you a file format that you can just save to disk and load into Excel).

Can Excel pull data from a website?

This seems like it might be a really simple question, but I don't see the answers here so far.

Does anyone know if Excel can pull data from a website (eg via hyperlinks) in a similar way as it could pull from an xls/xlsx file, through its "import data" functionality? For example: I have a webpage which provides a table of data that I would like to be available in my Excel spreadsheet. As a simplified example, the table I would like to see is something like this: Column I've tried pasting the URL of the webpage in a cell on my Excel spreadsheet, then using the "Data->get external data" command to pull the data from there, but my attempts at specifying which columns to pull from the table were unsuccessful.
