Hi I want to extract a table from a web page. The table is generated by Google Squared when I search for a particular term. Example - http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=african%20countries
The actual request that generates the response, is a POST request that is sent to "http://www.google.com/squared/api/service";. The request and response are highly cryptic. I think this is because of use of GWT. The response object is JSON. Can we extract the table using a browser extension, after the table has been rendered by the browser ? We would also like to extract other possible values for each cell, that we get when we click on the cell. Clicking on a cell, shows other possible values that the cell can take but does not make a new server request to fetch this data. All the values are fetched on the first POST request to the server. The content of the POST request - 5|0|8|http://www.google.com/squared/api/| F1125520EA59B78CF73C9DA1397E1C8A| com.google.quality.views.squared.shared.rpc.SquaredService|search| com.google.quality.views.squared.shared.rpc.SquaredRequest/3031287020| java.util.ArrayList/3821976829|african countries|6233554064231860391|1| 2|3|4|1|5|5|6|0|6|0|7|8| Partial Post response- // OK[0,-3733,-741,-476,4013,4012,6,4011,177,-1025410482,4010,62,103,1.43604167713017037E18,6.0650632E8,0,4009,-805,0,6,0,0,180,4008,4007,4006,4005,4004,1634624579,4003,62,103,-4.2679334833487872E17,1.674251072E9,0,4002,-805,0,6,0,0,180,4001,4000,3993,3999,177,-531159616,474,62,3998,3997,3993,3996,177,-182615969,474,62,3881,3905,3995,3880,177,1582195289,474,62,3884,3994,3993,3883,177,-1518028336,474,62,4,61,3.4334974960960799E18,2.949586944E9,0,2367,-5,0,6,0,0,180,3992,1250,3991,3990,177,1356212217,706,62,3989,3988,3987,3986,177... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
