Is it possible to get live data from a website’s table? I’m trying to copy the data from a basketball ranking and put it into a list in my glide app. Can I do that?  
From this website: [https://basketligaen.dk](https://basketligaen.dk)

Possible, but not simple. You’d probably need to write your own plugin column to do it.  
If the site has an API available (either free or paid), then it would be a little easier. It could most likely be done using an automation tool such as Zapier or Make.

I have tried for an hour now with no luck. I’ve tried converting the website’s data into a google sheet, and then into glide. (I know this will take longer, but that doesn’t matter that much in this case.) However, I just get a big pile of code. I’m kind of lost right now, do you have any tips or guidance in my situation?

Link to my google sheet: [Sports Teams - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uH1QKzUztUwz-yPw-JkmreYntDtxFKA22DHPd8-1nSM/edit#gid=1499042045)

Optional link to a new website I found, that maybe is easier for getting the API: [Basketball: Basketligaen 2022/2023 stillinger - Livesport.com&nbsp;&nbsp;](https://www.livesport.com/dk/basketball/danmark/basketligaen/tabeloversigt/)

The error tells you what is wrong. The response is not valid JSON. Try loading the URL in a browser and see what you get.

Please try this.

```auto
=IMPORTHTML("https://www.livescore.com/en/football/team/horsens-ic/2063/tables/11443/","table",1)

```

@ThinhDinh  
Will this automatically update my sheet, when the website updates?

This claims that the formula refreshes every hour.
