Export Extension List

[doom1701]

Curious if anyone has played with the Allworx web interface at all. Looking at the default user page (the extension directory), there is actually an XML export running behind the scenes that is used to generate the extension list. When time permits, I'm going to try to use this for myself, so I can do automated exports of the extension directory for linking into our main Corporate Directory.

why not just scrape My Allworx on port 80? There are programs that do this already, afaik.

That's an option, although it's a little tricky because the actual web page has a blank extension list. The page makes a SOAP call back to the Allworx and builds the list dynamically. I tried using wget to just save the page information, and it's just the framework--no data.

Being able to get the XML directly would let me hit it with any data mining tool, like SSIS.

I looked at the http requests once and it looked like jquery or json calls, imho.
