Singapore Turf Club Results
#1
Hi Guys, I am currently trying to acquire Singapore racing data currently and I am currently entering it in manually which is time consuming to say the least. I am trying to explore all avenues of trying to automate the data acquisition to make this as convenient as possible. Most basic race meeting data is available via excel spreadsheets. I do not mind copying and pasting this data into my CSV file. However, the data I am interested in is in the "T-Chart" section. The website is dynamic and with my very little coding knowledge I am struggling to automate the scraping of this data.

I am interested in the early sectional data, the finishing sectional times (in brackets), the peak speed in km/h and average speed in km/h. To view the peak and average speed you need to click the dropdown menu and pick the highest value in the menu. Here is a link to an example of the results https://racing.turfclub.com.sg/en/race-r...2011-09-09

I am trying to acquire data from current date back to September 9, 2011. Any tips or advice on how to automate this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

You need to learn how to scrape the data.
see:

I suspect you will need to use selenium which is covered in the tutorial
