you can use Php scraping libraries like html dom, curl, guzzle and much more, also can search YouTube,

  1. After scraping list categories using this WordPress built in function get_categories() check sample code here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_categories/

  2. And then insert post if you want using wp_insert_post() function see code details here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/

  3. Before submit post validate category using this WordPress function category_exist() with if else statement function use reference here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/category_exists/

see functions details from provided link by click on (User Contributed Notes) on right side of page.
