I took on a new client this week.
They needed a spider to pull data on tax liens from publically accessible databases on the internet.
This is no problem - I've written bot utilities before for similar situations. No big deal.
Except they need info from *specific* data sources, which I've begun to explore.
What wasn't explained to me prior to signing the contract was that each of these data sources has a javascript component pulling data for display in the browser.
Is there a well-documented Java method for pulling data through javascript query componentry? I've checked around on the internet and in my own Java reference materials but there's little to be said in particular on this topic matter.
I'm confident that I can get this figured out on my own, but it's going to take some time, and I'd like to get the data to these folks as soon as possible.
