Hello ,

Is it possible to take the database from a website and would it be illegal . The racing post ( www.racingpost.co.uk ) has 6 years worth of data which is available to the public so I wouldn't think it was illegal and I was wondering how you go about taking it and putting the information on Microsoft Excel so I can calculate many different pars and averages over 6 years , I heard you need a spider program or a curl but im not sure .


Any help would be great

Thanks
