Here's the code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


with open('informatics-staff-list.md', 'w') as out_file:
    out_file.write('| Name | Position | Groups | Personal Page | Publications |\n')
    out_file.write('| ---- | -------- | ------ | ------------- | ------------ |\n')

    with open('urls.txt', 'r') as in_file:
        for line in in_file:
            response = requests.get(line.strip())

            soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
            dds = soup.find('dl').find_all('dd')
            links = [a for a in soup.find_all('a') if a.string is not None]

            name = soup.title.string
            position = dds[0].string
            groups = [d.a.string for d in dds if d.a is not None]
            page = next((a.get('href') for a in links if 'personal' in a.string.lower()), None)
            pubs = next((a.get('href') for a in links if 'pub' in a.string.lower()), None)

            print(name)

            out_file.write('| {} | {} | {} | {} | {} |\n'.format(
                name,
                position,
                ', '.join(groups),
                '[Personal page link]({})'.format(page) if page is not None else '',
                '[Publications link]({})'.format(pubs) if pubs is not None else ''
            ))

The code...

• is written in Python 3
• requires requests and beautifulsoup4 packages (pip3 install requests, beautifulsoup4)
• expects an input file urls.xt with a list of URLs to scrape. The list I used is here.

I'll re-run and update this gist if anyone has suggestions / improvements for the code.

Updated, as per instructor notes, to be a list of academic staff, not research staff.

Thank you!
