Hi there - Yes, as others have said, this is not an easy project. That said, it can be down. I'd use a combination of DataNitro, to connect with Excel, and Scrapy, to easily scrap and crawl the sites. I'm adept at both and would be happy to help you with this. Email me at mich...@mherman.org for help.
