This might be crazy idea, but you could try using Bitcoin API JSON-RPC and your own script to get coinbase text which pool usually use to mark it's mined block.
getblockhash, getblock true and getrawtransaction {true/false} with script should able to do the trick.

You can try https://bitcoinstrings.com/, but it's totally converted to text and the blocks' data aren't displayed.
OP_return data were translated too, just ignore them or highlight all the "Mined by" lines then search from other source about which blocks are included in that particular blkXXXXX.dat number.
Sort it out, and you might find what you need.

However, the site's updates were not that frequent (about daily to four times a week)

I was going to mention that website, but there's no info of the block height and it's useless for OP unless he know about how Bitcoin Core manages it's blocks/leveldb and have full copy of blockchain/run full nodes.
