I am trying to get data from a website into a table in Excel. I am just using the regular button (get data - from web) in Excel (No code) Works fine for two websites but for a different website I am getting the following error:
Details: "The remote server return an HTTP status code '404' when trying to access 'https://smarkets.com/listing/sport/football/premier-league-2017-2018'."
The webpage certainly exists - I am guessing this is a deliberate strategy by the website to prevent data harvesting.
Anyone have any idea how I can get round it either through the get data route or a VBA approach?
Thanks

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Check their rules, If they say data harvesting is not permitted then you would be hacking to break their rules
