Web scraping data into Alteryx

Hi All,

I am working on a project that I need to create a workflow to scrap data from a website, find pricing for drugs and do my analysis later. There are more than 200+ products that I have to seek prices for, enter those manually into a sheet and continue the rest. it is very time consuming to search each drug from website and get pricing. I was thinking a easier way to scrape data. 

 

Little bit about the website, 

When you go to this Website GoodRx there's a search you can insert your dug name and then insert all the fields you want (Form, Dosage, Quantity) to get the most accurate prices from different pharmacies.

 

What I want is to export all data into a workflow. Preferred columns will be Drug name, Form, Dosage, Quantity, Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Costco and other pharmacies that have a price for the particular drug. 

 

Can you suggest a way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance.
