The Need

Many researchers need to obtain data from the internet for their work. In the past, this typically required coding skills to scrape data from websites.

Recently, a friend posed an interesting question in an online community:

I’ve blurred some personal information here, but their intent is clear:

First, they don’t want to write any code.

Second, they want to extract data from websites.

This would have been seen as an unrealistic request in the past. But today, with advances in AI, it’s a valid question worth exploring. Daring to imagine new possibilities is crucial. This is an excellent query.

I’ve previously written about using ChatGPT’s code interpretation capabilities in an article titled “How to Use ChatGPT’s Advanced Data Analysis to Help You Collect Data”.
