Extract URL Data

[osx99]

I have a macro which extracts data from the racing post website

http://www.racingpost.co.uk

- basically most of the info I get is either picked up in the source html code or can be extracted into excel

They are now beta testing a new website

http://www.racingpost.com

Most of the data I need (eg. URL links) doesn't appear in the source html code directly anymore

Can anyone give me some pointers on how this new site works and how best to extract data from their new website. The URLS are visible when my mouse is over them but I can't find a way to extract them either into excel using a webquery or from source?

Ideally I need to extract the at a glance card with post data


Thanks for anyone willing to have a look

See if they publish any feeds or have an API which you can use to get the data legitimately.

I don't know what you are doing with the extracted data but take a look at point 2.1 of their terms and conditions of use.
If you are using the data scraped from their site for anything other than personal use you are quite probably in breach of those terms.

It is definitely personal use.
