Thanks for the example. After reading about your scraping project I started using YQL via a python library that I found and have had great success with it.

That is an interesting approach. Generally you'll want a server-side programing language to do the heavy lifting, and just let JavaScript grab the output of the server-side script. You're right, Xpath is an amazing way to transverse web pages, especially if you're wanting to manipulate objects further. I wrote some about Advanced Data Scraping using cURL and Xpath. Writing your own PHP, Python, etc. script using cURL and XPATH would get around the API max requests of YQL,

You can also run jQuery on YQL's servers using YQL-Execute.

Kelvin,
Thank you for this article.

I also work with jQuery + YQL integration. I was working on one client's site and YQL was the only one possible option to make
custom Facebook Fan Box Widget. I found that my script becomes obsolete immediately after any single DOM change in scrapped data, e.g. you queue Wikipedia with xpath="//table[@class='wikitable sortable']", but suddenly Wikipedia change their structure and renames its tables. Or as happen with me: Facebook has transferred their widgets from http://www.facebook.com to http://www.connect.facebook.com, so you need keep an eye on your scrapped data.
