    <p>Javascript does http requests almost just like a browser does, once you figure out what they are you can try to re-create them in perl/python/etc. With Firefox+Firebug you can see the requests in the 'Net' panel.</p> <p>Things you might have to take into account are user-agent string, cookies, the fact that sometimes the returned data is meant to be run/interpreted by Javascript etc. Maybe your language of choice has a nice httpbrowser class you can use?</p> <hr> <p>Just took a look, searching for IBM, took the post data from Firebug, replaced newlines with '&amp;' and put it after the request url:</p> <pre><code>[http://bcode.bloomberg.com/sym/dwr/call/plaincall/searchMgr.search.dwr?callCount=1&amp;windowName=&amp;c0-scriptName=searchMgr&amp;c0-methodName=search&amp;c0-id=0&amp;c0-e1=string:ibm&amp;c0-e2=string:&amp;c0-e3=number:100&amp;c0-e4=number:0&amp;c0-e5=boolean:false&amp;c0-param0=Object_SearchCriteria:{search:reference:c0-e1,%20filter:reference:c0-e2,%20limit:reference:c0-e3&amp;,%20start:reference:c0-e4,%20allSources:reference:c0-e5}&amp;batchId=4&amp;page=%2Fsym%2F&amp;httpSessionId=&amp;scriptSessionId=FBC68693A4E1BC08D6E0DDFBDF6D0860] </code></pre> <p>but it returns</p> <pre><code>throw 'allowScriptTagRemoting is false.'; //#DWR-REPLY if (window.dwr) dwr.engine.remote.handleBatchException({ name:'java.lang.SecurityException', message:'GET Disallowed' }); else if (window.parent.dwr) window.parent.dwr.engine.remote.handleBatchException({ name:'java.lang.SecurityException', message:'GET Disallowed' }); </code></pre> <p>and no data.. So it looks like you have to script a post request. Looking at their restrictions and guidelines, maybe you should just get in touch and ask if there's a public API?</p>

    1. COOk I used the Net panel monitoring of Firebug. And whenever I submit a query on that website, the request is a POST, but the URL has search.dwr appended to it, not the actual query I submitted.

    2. COThe search is handled by Javascript, so it can put together and use any url it wants, obviously. You'd have to look into the source to see how it does that, or just see what it posts where and try to mimic that in your code. Is the search site public?

    3. COBut that POST request I saw in Firebug, how can I dig deeper to see the equivalent http request (preferably with a search query appended) ? Yes this is a public site.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
