    <p>For screen scraping, the compact layout style might be helpful: <a href="http://bililite.com/blog/2010/10/31/hacking-my-way-to-an-amazon-wishlist-widget/" rel="noreferrer">http://bililite.com/blog/2010/10/31/hacking-my-way-to-an-amazon-wishlist-widget/</a></p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I did some hacking of my own in google spreadsheets and managed to get 2 basic implementations working. </p> <p><strong>Using Google Apps Scripts:</strong></p> <p>Type your wishlist ID into cell A1. Copy and paste the following into a google apps script (Tools > Scripts > Scripts Editor), and run the getWishlist function:</p> <pre><code>function getWishlist(){ var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0]; var wishlistId = sheet.getRange('a1').getValue(); var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/" + wishlistId + "?layout=compact").getContentText(); var asinRegex = /name="item.([\d]+)\.(?:[A-Z0-9]+).([A-Z0-9]+).*/g while (match = asinRegex.exec(response)) { var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0]; var rowIndex = Number(match[1])+2; var asin = match[2]; setRow(sheet, rowIndex, asin); var offers = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/" + asin).getContentText(); setRow(sheet, rowIndex, asin, getFirstMatch(/class="producttitle"&gt;(.+)&lt;/g, offers), getFirstMatch(/class="price"&gt;(.+)&lt;/g, offers)); } Browser.msgBox("Finished"); } function getFirstMatch(regex, text) { var match = regex.exec(text); return (match == null) ? "Unknown" : match[1]; } function setRow(sheet, index, a, b, c) { sheet.getRange('a' + index).setValue(a); sheet.getRange('b' + index).setValue(b); sheet.getRange('c' + index).setValue(c); } </code></pre> <p>​ ​ NB, I'm having some probs with regex matching the title / price. Not sure why, but shows the basic idea.</p> <p><strong>Using Google Spreadsheet Functions</strong></p> <p>Type your wishlist ID into cell A1.</p> <p>Type the following function into A2. It will populate the cell and all below it with the id strings for each item in your wishlist:</p> <pre><code>=importXML("http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/"&amp;A1&amp;"?layout=compact", "//*[starts-with(@name, 'item.')]/@name") </code></pre> <p>Type the following function into B2, which will extract the asin from the id string:</p> <pre><code>=right(A2, 10) </code></pre> <p>Type the following function into B3, which will fetch the offer listing for the asin in B2 and display the title:</p> <pre><code>=importXML("http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/"&amp;B2, "//h1") </code></pre> <p>Type the following function into B4, which will fetch the offer listing for the asin in B2 and display all the prices:</p> <pre><code>=concatenate(importXML("http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/"&amp;B2, "//span[@class='price']")) </code></pre>

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).
