How can I get JSON data from http://en-maktoob.yahoo.com/?

http://en-maktoob.yahoo.com/ may be a website for Arab countries. I want to get the PRAYER TIMES in the homepage of this website to my application. Has yahoo provided the interface already? If not, how can I get the data legally?

  • No! This data is not available openely :(

    You can do page scrapping with YQL, e.g. is here http://bit.ly/islamicapi This works on this YQL query

    select * from html where url="http://www.islamicfinder.org/prayerDetail.php?country=lesotho&city=Api&state=00&id=7&month=&year=&email=&home=2012-10-2&lang=&aversion=&athan=" and
      xpath='//html/body/center/table[3]/tr/td/center[1]/table/tr/td[1]/table/tr[1]/td/table/tr[3]/td/table/tr[1]/td[1]/table'

    you might need permission from website owner.
