AA doesn't have an API but what you're describing is certainly doable.

Think the other way around. The task will grab the values from Excel, save the values to a variable which in turn will launch the website. You can then run additional commands to extract the web data and store it back in Excel.

It may sound simple, but you can create very complex logical rules to manage whatever your situation may be.
