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!

ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

Image
2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
