At my previous job, I used webscraping to get most of the vendor stanzas for EZproxy from this page:
https://www.oclc.org/support/services/ezproxy/documentation/db.en.html

If only those pages were all consistent. Then I found a github gist that was a bit better than mine:
https://gist.github.com/mbklein/53bcdb18d3cc81f7e6d0

Still, why can't these be put into an easier feed form?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Anyone web scraping to benefit their library?

I think there's likely a lot of possibilities out there and was hoping to hear examples of web scraping for libraries. Your example might just inspire me or another reader to do something similar. At the very least, the ideas will be interesting!
