Ask HN: Mini hack help needed

1 points by astroguy 15y ago ↗ HN

Is there a hacky way to get the all company names from below link instead of looking at map and writing down their names?

http://jtools.smartmoney.com/middleware/map/mapMarket.html

FYI: It uses a horrendous amount of JavaScript which doesn't explicitly contain the companies info. It must be going off to a server to get the details for specified co-ordinates, which is very hard to untangle[for me].

You'll find all that data in JSON format at http://jtools.smartmoney.com/middleware/datamap?src=marketda... (which is the url that this page hits). Go ahead and explore that; I think you'll have fun there.
