How do I read data from a USB connected Scale and send it to a website?


So I am trying to pull a weight from a physical scale connected via USB. What I want is to click on a button on my website once an item is placed on the scale and have it read the weight and input it in a field. Shipstation.com has this functionality. They have the user install some software on their computer (shiptstation connect) that then interfaces with the scale and relays the data to their site. The scale itself does not include any software with it. Any ideas on how/where to start working on something like this?
