Re^3: Automating Interaction with a mostly JavaScript site

I'm sure that is by design; a more useful API is one of the selling features of the higher priced account. Too bad though.

That's exactly right. We have two accounts with webex and the one we run out of space on is the smaller, cheapie one (which, incidentally is much easier to use and therefore used a lot more here). So they are emailing me the forms to enable API on the bigger one, for S&G. Having said this, I'm making good progress. I've successfully logged in and gotten to the page which lists all the recordings. It's amazingly obfuscated with JavaScript but the Chrome Dev Tools are pure win for a scenario like this.	[reply]

I'm glad to hear you're making progress on both fronts. I typically avoid JavaScript-obfuscated screen-scraping like the plague, and secretly hope the API approach will be a better long term solution for you. But if you can pull it off with the scraping approach, you deserve a crown for your patience and perseverance. ;) Dave	[reply]
