I work at a car dealership. There is a certain car auction that our dealership uses all the time. One of my duties is to go through every car on our watch-list and look up the MMR value of the car. Then I need to look up the cars AUTOCHECK report and See if it is a clean title and if it had any accidents or damage. I have to go back and forth from the auction website and the MMR Calculator website and put in the cars Vin, Miles and Condition report Rating. Then I have to go to AUTOCHECK and Check the vehicles history. Then I have to put in the "notes" section of the Auction and put in the MMR amount and anything bad I find in AUTOCHECK.
Is there any way I can Pull all the data from the Auction and have it automatically put in the MMR Calculator and AUTOCHECK, and then Automatically put the MMR Value and AUTOCHECK history into the Auction Notes.
What I have tried:
What I did so Far: I Figured the first step would be to pull all the data from the Auction. I found a program called Octoparse. The only fields I really need from the auction is the VIN number, Mileage and Condition Report score. So I used Octoparse to pull all the cars on the watchlist. The problem I ran into is that the VIN number is not located on the Watchlist. In order to find the Vin, I have to click the cars on the watchlist and then it will take me to the cars page wichh has the actual vin number. The notes(Which is what I need the MMR and Autockeck info to be in the end) is on that page as well. Once I can get the vin number, Mileage and Condition Report in the same spreadsheet, I will need to find a way to have all the cars automatically go through the MMR Calculator and Autocheck. Then The info needs to somehow be pasted in the notes for all the cars. I did some research and the only idea I could find is to find some sort of Bookmarklet to do it.
