Hey all,

So lets say I wanted to pull all the API information that comes with
"profile page"--ie; all the api information that comes with a profile page,
but I do it via the HTML code. Does anyone know how to separate (the api
pieces) of the code in an easy way? CSV wouldnt work because there are
commas within the descriptions of companies. I'm not sure my explanation
translates well to my problem, but let me know.
HTML Code to what's below--
                    link     CEO    phone   description  employees  etc etc
etc
Facebook

Hi Will

It sounds like you want to screen scrape the HTML code on CrunchBase
profile pages. I don't see the reason to, since all the profile information
is already accessible via the API and neatly formatted in JSON. Here's an
example of using the API with jQuery: https://gist.github.com/2921495. However,
If you feel the need to use an HTML parser, then I would suggest using
either nokogiri <http://nokogiri.org/> or hpricot<https://github.com/hpricot/hpricot>
.
