sweemeng the prices data are scrapped on daily basis from web pages at www.mpob.gov.my, www.lgm.gov.my, www.mpb.gov.my and www.koko.gov.my.
should be able to scrape from us easily since it is just plain html. data is updated at 1.00am past midnite. after this i am trying to figure out how to add rpy / numpy statistical function to our javascript driven web spreadsheet. something to rival openoffice.org and m$ excel statistical functions. will probably need to take a refresher class from you on data mining ;-) On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 3:57 PM, sweemeng ng <[email protected]> wrote: > /me in data mining heaven > > On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 3:43 PM, Raja Iskandar Shah < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Salam hormat >> >> I would like to invite those who are interested in local commodity prices >> (palm oil, rubber, pepper, and cocoa) to subscribe to the free email service >> at http://k-commodities.kppk.gov.my >> >> 1.
