Basically, there are two steps. First step is to send a get/post request using a script in a linux server. We use cron jobs to run scripts daily. Request headers possibly need to be sent with request. JavaScript on the website sometimes need to be run to get the correct info. The second step is to extract data from the download html or json file. It is easy part.
Please note that the scraper will run in background in a Linux server.
