screen scrape

To get data from a screen like a web page or mainframe (green screen) using a program. The program must parse the web page source (HTML) and look for hints, like field label tags. For mainframes is much easier since the screen is just a flat ASCII string.

Screen scrape eBay or Amazon pages and collect product offerings and prices.
