An automated extensible scraping script is generated for web scraping that is extensible to a plurality of domains. Web sites are classified based on common extracted domain data, further clustering the data based on common navigation structures, and using such commonalities to automate the generation of scraping code based on predefined and reusable code snippets for specific parts of the web sites. Scraping services include a mapper module and a script generator module. Building blocks include a data model updater, a navigation model generator and a navigation model matcher. An administrative module includes domain clustering and configuration file maintenance.

System and method for automated domain-extensible web scraping

Methods, systems, and computer program products for data collection and/or software registration during software installation. One or more embodiments involve a computer presenting a screen or interface comprising a screen to a user through a display, during a software installation process of a software program, a web form embedded into a web screen. The web screen may be installation web screen for the software installation process. In at least one embodiment, the web form allows the user to input data. One or more embodiments further involve the computer providing the data inputted by the user to the software program after the installation process is complete. In one or more embodiments, the data is user identification data, customer information data, software registration data, software configuration data, and/or answers by the user to at least one survey.

Data collection and software registration during desktop software installation

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a system that enables a user of an application that runs natively on a client to obtain access to a web resource that is affiliated with the native application. First, the native application obtains an access token from a Central Authentication Service (CAS). Next, the native application sends a secure request for a one-time use session token to the CAS. If the CAS determines the request is valid, the CAS initializes a session token and sends the session token to the native application. After receiving the session token, the native application directs a browser to an endpoint server, appending the session token to the browser's request. Finally, the endpoint server initializes an authenticated session wherein the authenticated session is scoped to the desired web resource.
