Retrieving data from the NEW Racing Post site

[mellenec]

Has any of those who used to retrieve data with web queries on the RacingPost former site faced problems with the new site?

I used to retrieve about 95% of a card data , but now it looks like it is another story.Changing the urls is not enough and I haven' t been able to retrieve a single web table (are there still any)?
Any thoughts?

Don't look as if you can do it anymore!!! Bugger!!!!

@mellenec
i highly doubt so. my bots cant mine any data now too. and looking at the page source of the cards doesn't show any card details. i'm sure they didn't do it to make the cards look nicer but instead to prevent bots mining. *sigh*

Hmmm

I'm sure a clever person with much better understanding of the way web sites work can point us in the right direction

I believe it can be done but for the moment haven't any great success.
We'll see.
