[07:16] I want to try an extract business info from www.yellowpages.co.za [07:17] I have tried a few extension on the chrome web store but not sure how to use it on yellowpages [07:17] ideas? [07:18] Private_User: get firebug on firefox [07:19] then copy the relevant xpaths, etc. and use http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/scenarios/scrape/ [07:22] thanks theblazehen, I will try that now [07:38] Private_User: I've played with imports.io the other day. Creates an api for a website. [07:39] That should be import.io [07:39] thanks spinza, I tried it but seem to have failed in trying to get data or maybe I just need to go over the tutorial. I was trying to extract data from yellowpages [07:40] which sites have you been successful with using that tool if you do not mind me asking? [07:41] I've pulled some data from financial website that had js [07:41] Had to enable js on the tool [07:42] http://www.programmableweb.com/api/south-african-yellowpages-maps will this help?

[18:36] lol [18:36] our cold is only 16 degrees [18:36] superfly, ThatGraemeGuy: sorry for all the questions... I've found a digs type hostel type thing, in the middle of town(loop street). It's only a 25km commute, but what would the traffic be like getting OUT of town in the morning? Why I ask is because it's still in the middle of town :/ [18:36] thinking of getting myself a scooter too :P [18:37] see kbmonkey nuvolari is in ct now and Squirm going soon as well [18:37] Squirm: I have a motorbike, had one for years, you save a lot of money on petrol, maintenance, easy parking [18:37] hi Squirm :) [18:38] hey kbmonkey [18:38] nuvo moved to CT? [18:38] yes [18:38] ya [18:38] I miss that place [18:38] nuvolari and Trixar_za are the only 2 people here i've met :p [18:38] lovely city [18:39] kbmonkey: that's the plan. can pick up a scooter my mate is selling for R6k [18:39] oh you do dev work kbmonkey [18:39] fly says they looking for dev peeps [18:39] c/c++/python [18:39] I do, and that is cool [18:39] kbmonkey: any ideas on traffic getting out of town? [18:40] the fly is also CT based, wonder if he accepts work remotely [18:40] ask him he is here atm [18:40] Squirm, nope. apart from leaving earlier/later than rush hour ;) [18:41] I lived in Obz and Rondebosh, out of town [18:41] living in town is best if you also work there [18:42] that said I dont mind CT traffic. drivers there are much more considerate and easy going than any other city I know [18:43] but parking is a big issue (narrow roads), so many folk opt for scooters [18:44] kbmonkey: no, I'm afraid not. we do agile and pair-programming [18:45] thanks superfly :) [18:45] I'm not relocating at this time, regretfully [19:01] night all. sleep tight. night my monkey, dont be a stranger any more [19:01] night Kilos [19:01] superfly i saw her on fb, so cute hey [19:01] tommorow guys [19:01] tomorrow as well also too [19:01] night bushtech_ [19:02] night Kilos [19:04] Maaz, tell kilos good night [19:04] kbmonkey: Okay, I'll tell Kilos on freenode [19:05] Trixar_za, ping ;) [19:05] ping :P === gremble is now known as hellenkeller === hellenkeller is now known as gremble
