collecting live betting data
Hi there
I am a total newbie and I am hoping somebody will be able to help me.
I want to collect live betting data (odds) from a betting website say every 5 minutes and put all the values over the period of the whole match into a spreadsheet for analysis.
My first question is whether Octoparse is the right tool for this, and my second question is whether I can do the data collection within a loop, or whether I need to get a standard plan and schedule the lookup every 5 minutes. If I need to do the schedule, will this be able to put all the results into a single spreadsheet or will each schedule put the results in separate spreadsheets?
Thanks so much in advance

Hi,
Do you mean that you would like to do a scheduled regular run? Of course Octoparse can do it. If you update your plan to the "Standard Plan", you would be able to conduct the task scheduling, you can set a pre-setting do to auto-extraction, such as every 1 min, 5 mins, 10 mins, or 30 mins. You will be able to put all the results into a single spreadsheet. You can learn more about this from this tutorial.
