Client-side scripting may not be the best tool for this. I'd first try
using command-line tools. What constraints are you operating under?

But Javascript might well be used in your server-side toolset to solve
this problem.

The big question for the OP is, "So what?" You want to scrape the data? What have you tried? Is there something interesting for the group here to
work on? Or are you simply looking for us to do your work/homework?

Yes, that was the wrong characterisation. In fact, the issue is not
client vs. server side, nor is is JS vs. any other scripting tool. It's
just, as you say:

I'd use wget and perl (or awk) as a first go but we have no idea what is
available to the OP.
