There is a website which shows history of lottery numbers. I want to retrieve numbers from the page, by using C# Windows or Web program(ASP.NET).
There is a problem that, after selecting the week which you want numbers for from dropdownlist, page does not post. Numbers are retrieved by Ajax.
How can I get numbers for all of the weeks by program?
If there isn't any official API provided You should be aware of possible legal issues.
O.K. I understood You know what You are doing, so this is my hint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping
I've used WatiN to interact with Ajax websites and scrape the relevant data before.
Another option is to monitor the site with something like Fiddler and determine whether you can make the relevant server call directly.
what you can do is to imitate the ajax requests. you can use HttpWebRequest Class for that
