Is this possible to write a script for checking data from website?

[WanW]

I am doing some data checking about name, mmsi and length of the ships. ( https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/hom...2.5/zoom:6 ) I need to check whether the data I got is match with this website. The data is excel table format. I am new in python. I am not sure whether it is achievable with the use of python. And what statement I need to know to achieve it ?
Thank you.

You can get data from webpages, web-scraping, with

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Read up on those! When you have mastered that, you can specifically get the information you require.

url = 'https://www.somedotcom.com/awebpage.html'
res = requests.get(url)
html_page = res.content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_page, 'html.parser')
text = soup.find_all(text=True)

You can narrow down the search by only getting text contained in certain html tags.
Then, you can compare what you got with what is in your Excel.

To open Excel in Python, read up on openpyxl a Python module for handling Excel files.

Then, if you have a specific problem, you can ask the experts here, they (not like me) really know a lot about these things!
