Good luck with that one. Personally for my own use I wrote a script with "elink -dump" piped through grep awk sed to get the data I needed off of public web pages. It is slow and I would never publish the code itself considering the legal issues of, "It is fine to do this as a home user but not legal to publish" kind of thing. So sorry, I'm not willing to share on the exact details. But it has its issues, such as needing to check the code every 6 months due to changes in the source website format. Coded it to where it will force the data through even if the data was corrupted so it does not come to a screeching halt become one single variable got changes in the source format, ect.
