It used to be boring and painful. But thanks to [miyagawa](http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/), this is not true anymore. [Web::Scraper](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Web::Scraper) offer a nice API: you can write your rules using XPath, you can chaine rules, a nice and simple syntax, etc. I wanted to export my data from my last.fm account but there is no API for this, so I would need to scrap them. All the data are available [as a web page](http://www.last.fm/user/franckcuny/tracks) that list your music. So the scraper need to find how many pages, and find the content on each page to extract a list of your listening. |
