Hello!

Does anyone know how I could copy/paste or download a list of every Minifigure's
data (Image, Number, Current Price, Year Released, Parts List) from Bricklink,
or another similar database?
Are there ways of collecting the texts and possibly images, aside from slowly
going to each page and copying/pasting it all? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bricklink is a great resource but I lack the Web Programming skills to automate/explore
this further.


Context:

I have been working on a binder as a catalog/index; in some ways it's like
a physical version of the 'Minifigure' Section on Bricklink. My current
workflow is to copy/paste the data from Bricklink pages (like this: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&pg=1&promoCatID=283&catType=M),
and add a 'Rough Price ($)' cell from BrickEconomy, into an excel spreadsheet,
which I then have some limited ways to sort and print. Maybe there's a better
program for cataloguing parts and complete figures than what I am aware of. Bricklink
does it's job as an online resource well, but I need something physical.
