Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for extracting data from web applications. An exemplary embodiment includes monitoring web traffic between a client terminal and a server, the web traffic corresponding to a user's interaction with a web browser to send a request for data, such as a web page, from the client terminal to the server. A data log is created reflecting the monitored web traffic, and processed to extract the request for data. A command is generated for accessing the server based on the request for the data that was extracted from the data log. When the generated command is executed, it downloads the data from the server to the client terminal. Some embodiments are able to specify a pattern to search for in the downloaded web page, search the downloaded data for the pattern to identify data of interest and provide the identified data to a user.
