Thoroughbred Racing Data Extractor -- 2
Budget: $50 – $100 NZD
I need a simple, low-cost way to pull thoroughbred racing form the official racing website and drop it straight into my existing Excel template whenever I choose. The process must run on an ordinary New Zealand Windows laptop—no paid cloud services, no expensive subscriptions—as long as I can launch it with a click. We will only work with the API available, as scrapping is not allowed by the sites Terms and Conditions.
Core requirements
• Source: only the official racing website I will specify.
• Output: a fully populated Excel workbook that keeps my current column structure.
- Calculations: needs to include specific calculations in the Excel workbook as per my attached Project Description
• Data points: everything listed in the attached Project Description with my specific calculations
• Repeatability: I must be able to refresh the sheet myself before every meeting without touching code.
Deliverables
1. The working script or automated Excel solution.
2. A clear, step-by-step guide (screenshots or short video) that shows me how to run it and update any URL changes.
3. A quick test on one upcoming meeting so I can see the data land correctly in my template.
If you can keep the setup lightweight, reliable, and easy for a non-developer to maintain, let’s talk.
