For those who take their fast food more seriously, we also calculate a gourmet version of the index. Yet the Big Mac index has become a global standard, included in several economic textbooks and the subject of dozens of academic studies. It is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP), the notion that in the long run exchange rates should move towards the rate that would equalise the prices of an identical basket of goods and services (in this case, a burger) in any two countries.īurgernomics was never intended as a precise gauge of currency misalignment, merely a tool to make exchange-rate theory more digestible. Thanks for any help.T HE BIG MAC index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their “correct” level. To clarify, I'm using a MacBook Pro with Big Sur so I need help with macOS for the problem we are working with. There is a lot of text on the page I'm using and I just want to pull the current stock price at the time of running. I don't see any options in automator to work with excel and I also don't know how to use 'Get Text from Webpage' to specify what text to pull from the webpage. I've tried googling this error message but that brings up the error code in other contexts than how I encounter it and I can't find a troubleshooting guide to help with the error in Automator.Ĭan someone give me a reason why 'Get Text from Webpage' results in a 'frame load interrupted' error? There are no options to problem solve what to do to solve the problem just the vague error.Īny additional help on how to build a program to mindlessly collect data over the day so I don't have to would be helpful. 'Get Text from Webpage failed - 1 error, Frame load interrupted'. To call the webpage where the stock info is, then I have dipped my toe into Automator to do this but I would be receptive to learning of other methods to complete parts or all of this task. I'm interested in a stock and I would like to build an automated script to collect data continuously from a webpage over a long period of time and with many data points, transfer that data to an excel file, and create an ongoing measure for the stock of interest.
