Php - Scraping .NET Website Keep Getting Unable To Validate Data?

Jul 6, 2010

I'm trying to php/curl scrape data from an .NET site (those with __VIEWSTATE, __EVENTVALIDATION). I monitor headers and post vars using Tamper Data so I'm pretty sure I haven't missed anything. My approach is to micmic the post back when the user click on one of the links and parse the response. But the response I'm getting is a page redirect to "Unable to validate data".

Mar 23, 2010

I am getting the error "Unable to validate Data" on my ASP.NET 3.5 website. Replication Steps:Open the Default.aspx web page (it just has a few asp.net controls) and leave it idle for approx 1hr.Click on a button (server side standard asp.net button) on the page and we get the error.After going through a couple of blogs, I've got the following suggestionsSome suggested the use of specifying the machine key. But is that really required considering that my website is hosted on a single application server (no web farm scenario). Not sure if I should be trying this.

VS 2010 - Scraping Website That Uses Ajax

Nov 19, 2011

We have a site that was scraping a site to gather all models available of a product. The 3rd party site recently changed the website so it now uses ajax for users to select the manufacturer and then once they select that it loads a dropdown with products using ajax.

I currently was using httpwebrequest for all requests (see below).

Code:
Public Function fnRequest(ByVal sPOSTData As String, Optional ByVal bAutoRedirect As Boolean = False) As String
Dim uriSite As Uri
Dim sReturn As String
Dim srReader As StreamReader
Dim sTemp As String

[Code] ....

Now in fiddler the post appears to be done with ajax. I tried to send the post data the normal way but it didn't like that. Any example of how to do this? To get an idea go to [URL] ... and see Mount finder and select Projector.

VS 2008 Screen Scraping Or Web Scraping

Apr 8, 2010

Every night I have a program that runs that creates a natural gas report. In this report is something called "expert analysis." The is just text which is a commentary of the current Natural Gas market and because it's a volatile market there is new commentary every day. So also every day, an employee in our office runs a public webpage which displays this text, copies and pastes it into a webpage that is part of our system and it gets saved to a file which gets pulled into our nightly report.

The page that is in our system is as ASP page and it uses FileUp to create the file. We want to break our dependancy on FileUp (it's a SoftArtisans product, an excellent vendor, but we are trying to save some money). Right now we don't have FileUp because our trial expired. So every day I run the public webpage and copy the text and paste it to my expert.txt file all manually. Another problem is that the expert analysis is updated after our office staff has all gone home,

Here is my question - can I write a program in .NET that runs a page, parses the resulting HTML and extracts out the expert analysis all automatically? I won't need FileUp anymore becaus I can use the .NET upload control. And I won't have to log on every night to manually copy and paste the expert analysis. Is that what web/screen scraping is? What happens then the public page's format changes because they do maintenance on their site? Is it just like if I were to run [URL] and try to read the Moderator column of the ASP.NET forum? I'd be okay for a while (would I?) but then if the layout changed I wouldn't find the Moderator anymore?

C# - Scraping Content From Webpage?

Sep 6, 2010

I need to scrape a remote html page looking for images and links. I need to find an image that is "most likely" the product image on the page and links that are "near" that image. I currently do this with a javascript bookmarklet so that I am able to get the rendered x/y coordinates of images and links to help me determine if those are the ones that I want. What I want is the ability to get this information by just using a url and not the bookmarklet. The issues it that by using the url and trying something like httpwebrequest and getting the html on the server, I will not have location values since it wasn't rendered in a browser. I need the location of images and links to help me determine the images and links that I want.So how can I get html from a remote site on the server AND use the rendered location

Scraping .aspx Content Using Python?

Apr 29, 2010

I'm having difficulties scraping dynamically generated table in ASPX. Trying to scrape the gas prices from a site like this GasPrices. I can extract all the information in the gas price table (address, time submitted etc.), except for the actual gas price.

Is there a way I could scrape the gas prices? i.e. somehow get a text representation of it. I'm not very familiar with ASP/ASPX - but what's being generated now is not showing up in the final HTML. I'm using Python to do the scraping, but that's irrelevant unless there's a specific library...

Security :: Screen Scraping On A Secure Site?

Jan 7, 2010

I'm trying to write a small application to collect(Scrape) one piece of data from a web site. I would like to be able to simply run the app and it will open the page, find the one piece of data and display it. So far so good...my problem is that the web site is a secure site, meaning I have to provide a user name and password. I've searched all over the web, found many discussions but have yet to find anything that provides specifics on how to accomplish this. I understand a little bit about tokens etc, but I'm really looking for a detailed description of how to do this. Please feel free to direct me to a different forum if I'm in the wrong place.

Web Forms :: Screen-scraping Get Null From A Site?

Jan 18, 2010

I am building a site that need to scrape information from a partner site. Now my scraping code works great with other sites but not this one. It is a regular .html site. My thoughts is that it might be generated some how with php (site is build with php).

If it matters here is my code I use. The htmlDocument is htmlAgilityPack but that has nothing to do with it. Result is null on the site I try.

[Code]....

this is from the w3 validator, might have something with this? The site checked is this

[URL]

I am unable to validate this document because on line 422 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "xA9" does not map to Unicode""
