ratman 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi, I'm working on scraping data from a private site that uses a framed search box and framed search results. I've figured out how to use the framed search box, but I can't figure out how to work with the framed search results. All I need the bot to determine is whether the searched for business is in the website's database. Whenever a business is in the database, the site frames results from a specific URL. Is there a way for the bot tell when this happens? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Nimocks 19 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Is it possible to browse to the frame results and enter the search term in the URL? www.privatesite.com/framedresults.php$searchterm=i+want+to+scrape+this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratman 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi Aaron, Unfortunately, not. Each business has a unique identifier but it's not something that I can get in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
