Re^2: Script to scrap data

That was my first thought, however when I went to that website and looked at Network traffic in Developer Tools, it showed that it is making two ajax requests. Both of them using this URL: https://desmace.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_wdtable&table_id=414

Interestingly, when I copied and pasted this address to see what is being downloaded, it showed nothing. Why is that?

You're not posting anything along with that request, it's unlikely to perform any action without parameters. You can see what's being sent by clicking the row in question then selecting 'Request' in the right hand pane, listing all of the parameters and values, or right click the row in question -> 'Copy Value' and looking at all the options provided.

Oh, I see! Thanks! I learned something.

DataTables is really versatile, see server side processing, among other examples. I use it a lot for real time web apps, with a Mojolicious back end.
