It’s often difficult and time consuming extracting data from websites for use in stories. imort.io is a web based tool that easily parses web pages and turns web content into tabular data.
I’m going to use it to get a list of all Cardiff Councillors.
Simply copy the URL of the list of councillors on the Cardiff Council website and paste it into import.io.
And…er…that’s it. You can edit the table in the browser and then download it as a CSV file.
