With JavaScipt, it's possible but very difficult; too much code for a non-visual script, I would say. Do you have the access to any server-side technology? Does it have to be a Web application?

My purpose is to collect data from any website like google analytics so that I can use that data in one of BI application.

I understand your purpose, it's just not the best to do with JavaScript... Why?
And you did not answer if it has to be a Web application or not.

Thanks for your response.
I'm not going to implement it for any particular website.May be I have to write web application just to write REST API calls so that I will be able to save collected data on my web server.
That is why I'm looking for better solution.

Thanks again..

I am asking not about the tools to use. Mentioning it, you only make the path longer. I am asking about your goal. Is having a Web application a part of your goal? Do you understand why am I asking?

No, web application is not the part of my goal.
And why you are asking,please explain?

Thanks

Than the answer is easy. Make it a regular local application. (Or make it a Web application, but don't use JavaScript, use ASP.NET if you can.)
I'll explain...

Please see my last comment. I would advise to use .NET (does not have to be ASP.NET, it's the best to make a local Windows (Linux, or whatever; you name it) application). Are you familiar with .NET programming?

What you need is the technique of Web scraping. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping[^].

How to do it? Please see my past answers:
get specific data from web page[^],
How to get the data from another site[^].

I don't think doing so much work would be practical with JavaScript: too tedious and error prone.

Good luck,

Thanks.It is informative article.
But let me explain you the whole scenario..
Let's suppose you have two ecommerce websites and you want me to tell you the statistics of transactions made on your websites

Then how is it possible by Web scraping.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 10-Jan-13 13:04pm

What do you mean "how"? Didn't I explain it above?
