The Problem

Building portal components can be a challenge when the only thing that applications have in common is a web interface. Interfacing each application directly often requires understanding of the application API, if there is one, and creating complicated middleware. Building portal components should not affect the applications supplying the data.

The Solution

screen-scraper's ability to parse HTML and interface with multiple applications through the web or added extensions allow for easy creation of portal components. No change to the applications supplying the data is necessary.

Examples of using screen-scraper for portal components include:

  • Creating a common look and feel across multiple applications
  • Creating portlets (e.g., embedding stock quote prices extracted from web pages in your site's home page)
  • Combining applications into a single interface by crawling web sites and mining useful data
