Hi Varun,
What you are looking for is called webscraping, and needs to be treated on a case by case basis due to different website structure.
You can either follow the
"Simulating Web browser user interaction" section in https://analystcave.com/web-scraping-tutorial/
OR
use the plugin suggested
https://analystcave.com/excel-tools/excel-scrape-html-add/
The first step is always to have a basic understanding of HTML. You will need to learn the basics such as <li> for list, <tag> for tag and <class> for class.
If you just need the information from time to time, you can consider browser plugins for web scraping.
You may also try options without VBA, such as Power Query, and Excel 365's FILTERXML() function. You can also use Google Sheets' ImportXML() function. https://support.geckoboard.com/hc/en-us/articles/207238327-Use-Google-Sheets-ImportXML-function-to-display-data-in-Geckoboard
