PageQuery

PageQuery is an accurate, high performance URL query system that allows you to automatically extract specific, or user defined, 'nuggets' of data from a web page (a.k.a. screen scraping). Any number of items can be configured into a system for extraction, and once they are, the Page Query Web Service will automatically detect their presence on any page across an entire domain. These rules are created using the PageQuery Builder application and stored as Regular Expressions.
