I am looking to have the file programmatically downloaded into Excel, does anyone have any experience doing it, and if so can you please share whether it can be done, as well as possibly ideas / specific code that enables this download.
Many thanks in advance.
You can use a free Macro add-on such as iMacros (for FF, IE & Chrome) and create a simple Macro to "automatically" download the file. The CSV file can then be opened in Excel.
Very interesting, can you say a bit more about this method please...?
My question is along the same lines as this thread.
I have figured out how to automatically download the file to excel so I can run my own queries on it.
However, my problem is that I don't know how to detect that a new set of notes has come out so I can download the most updated file. Normally I'll refresh the page until I see a new one is out then manually run my scripts...but I'd like to have this automatically download only when new notes are issued (it seems like they are at random times up to 2 or 3 minutes past the hours they are suppose to come out). Anyway to do this without the API?
also, is there a glossary for all the additional fields that are in the file?
thanks,
dan
Empty and Disable Cache in your Browser when you are downloading file. The browser is caching file, on repeat requests browser is checking if cached file has changed before initiating download. It most probably taking up a few extra precious seconds.
I could not figure out why browseNotes.csv was downloaded in 3 seconds in a few seconds ago then it took 20+ seconds to download the file. I monitored the Network connection activity. It seems like the speed for downloading browseNots.csv was capped at about 42kB/s at most times. The speed was above 500KB/s when I downloaded large files from other web sites for test immediately. Does Lending club have restriction on bandwidth of downloading?
Starting from the right of the attached screen shot, the first two spikes in network activities corresponds to downloads within 3 seconds. The third and flat shape shows that browseNotes.csv was downloaded at 42KB/s with total 20+ seconds being taken
Finally find a solution after numerous search and tries. It passed several tests in a row. Looking forward how it will do in real runs.
Raymond-
If you had find solution please tell so other browser see.
I will share if it could pass every run in several days. Cross my fingers...
The downloading is much faster using the new Download All link (file is secure-primaryMarketNotes-browseNotes_1-RETAIL.csv). I have experienced shorter downloading time from 3 to 5 seconds instead of 20+ seconds at most times in the past. LC finally improved this little thing. Thanks.
Woo woo. I feel special:
