My city is looking to phase out of quarantine procedures soon, under the condition that new Covid-19 cases are reduced each day for 14 consecutive days. I want to build a tracker for this, and the most comprehensive data I’ve found is here. On this page is a .pdf file with the data that I want, which I think I can extract the data from using Python’s tabula-py library. I’d like to set up a program with cron that will daily go get that .pdf, parse the data, and display it. The place I’m falling down is how on earth to automate the downloading of this .pdf file. Is this possible? If so, how might I go about doing it?
