Hi,
I am trying to find a work around where i need to see the parameter values getting updated in the revit family library.
The values has to be derived from a website which has a table with the parameter name on the left and the value on the right.
Every time i open revit, it has to extract the current values from the website and update it to the parameters in the families that are present in the library and it has to keep updating it until i close revit.

This is possible. The DocumentOpened event is fired when a Revit document is opened, and you can use that to trigger the initial update:

  

  

For the continuous update, you can implement an external event that is triggered by a timer at regular intervals:
