Scraping one piece of information, posting it on social media at specific times
I'm new to this forum, and came here because of a question I have.
I have a website that shows the latest crypto prices. Now I want to extend my platform a bit by providing price information every hour or so on social media; twitter and Facebook mostly.
Is there a way to scrape the price from the website, place it in a post and then automatically post it?
I'm not a genius when it comes to coding, but I know the basics. If anyone could help me get on the right track, that'd would be amazing.
Thanks!
