What to study (in programming) if it is clair what I want to get in the end?

Hello
I have a small problem - I do not understand what exactly should I learn from a huge list of languages ​​and technologies in programming
Please, look at my problem from your programmer's point of view and tell me what exactly I need to know for its (problem) successful solution)

I need to track trends in a fairly narrow area
For Google Trends, this is a very small goal, so the only solution is to manually check the sites of the necessary companies, see what exactly they write in their blogs
That is, I need:
1) a service (program ?, site?) - which will crawl 200-300 sites once a day, watch what's new published in blogs and on the main pages of these sites (RSS ?, sitemaps ?, visual comparison?), Process updates and drop them into a table (google docs or office 365 online) and, in addition
2) related to some CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Django - no difference)
so that after processing the daily news, the program itself starts the current date page, and displays the result in a column, like

08/17/2020
1) Article title from the first site
2) Article title of the 2nd site
etc
of course, closing links from indexing and prescribing the title transcript
I think that the Internet is crammed with such programs, only the lazy did not write about parsers, but I would like to figure it out myself if possible
Please tell me what is the best thing to teach me?
What language?
What framework?
P.s
I am a good user of Joomla and Wordpres, I understand the needs of my audience a little, but I am not a programmer - that is, for me any language is terra incognita and I have no preferences in terms of technology.
The only thing is that if a program is needed for this, it would be good to put it on a free cloud of Amazon or Microsoft for a year)
And I certainly understand that WordPress (which tears everyone up and will soon become a monopolist) is PHP/ on the other hand, Django is a python ((((and they are almost like Russia with America) are not compatible (((
