> Import.io solves the problem or obtaining data

> The import.io extractor tool allows developers to

> information extraction from web pages on demand 
> over REST APIs. The information is extracted from 
> the pages and returned in a structured JSON 
> document which adheres to the schema that you 
> define when you create the extractor.
