Hi Lal,

What you are asking for is tricky. Without going through an available API or web service offered by the product catalog software on the website, you would likely have to implement this using some type of screen scraping approach. Problem with this is that as soon as the layout of the page is changed, your code potentially breaks.

Some websites could offer APIs or web services that allow you to present their content as if it were your own (as in the FedEx shipment tracker, misc. stock tickers, etc..). This is a much better way to go, obviously, but you are limited to what sites offer such services.

What types of products are you searching for?
