Programma Question...
Saturday 2nd August 2014

Le Programma Question; how would one go about downloading the contents of a webpage using something like wget, where the data on the page loads asynchronously? - is such a thing even possible?
And yes I have Googled my question but have so far not yielded any solution that I find satisfactory.
Additionally, my intended use of this data may be considered unethical so asking the web master for an API key or JSON interface is out of the question.
Update: I have found a way around this through use of a third party service, but I am still not satisfied, as this question continues to baffle me.
Please excuse my perplex linguistic tendencies within this status but, PLS halp!!
Edit: I understand the negligible outcome posting this here will bring, I originally made this post on a different social media website, and as I never bothered to implement a comment section on my website, but at the time of this post, it was genuinely a question I wanted to answer, I had an understanding of how Ajax worked at the time but not an in-depth understanding of web sockets, I now have made an more up-to-date response here.
