One of the ways we've been gathering data for years has been called "screen scraping." You log onto a program, find certain text in certain portions of the page, and "scrape" it off for your own application's needs.
This has become a whole new animal with the explosion of the Internet. So much more information is available now, but it's constantly changing as well! We are able to use RSS, blogs, XML, Web Services and other types of feeds to obtain much of the information you may need on your site, but every once in a while we still have to get out there and scrape certain information right off of a page.
We can provide this functionality on your website, or can provide you with the development tools to do it yourself! Contact us for more information or click here for a live demonstration.
