How to collect statistics on the location of manufacturers on Alibaba?

Question

Analytics

I am a very distant person from computer science. But I ran into the need to build an algorithm capable of collecting statistical material.

In short, the situation is as follows: there is an Alibaba website, there are companies represented on it, companies have a company_profile, which indicates the location.

The task is to collect as complete a database as possible and to establish the number of companies in each specific province of China. In the future, it is planned to update the statistics as the situation on the e-commerce market changes.



To what extent is this problem solvable in principle?
