Get information from Wiki

[EricFerel]

I'm currently working on a program that acts as a database of all the IDs in the game Skyrim. I also have the functionality to create game scripts very easy with this. However I have already done the fun stuff so now it's just the database itself left. I just can't add every Id in Skyrim manually, I don't have the energy or time. I did found this site called UESPwiki which have all those Ids and more in handy tables.

Now my question. Is it possible to get those values? I'm not very good when it comes to web stuff. Before anyone say it, I will of course save it locally with the option to update database and thereby avoid hogging the site.

An Example of such a table https://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ammunition

Hmm.. Web stuff definitely isn't my territory, but I have a little experience with databases. Unless you can somehow dump their Database from the site (Which I'm sure they have secured.) I don't see this being possible.. Unless you want to get it a non-legitimate way.. Using SQL injection, but I'm certainly not going to go into detail about that as it's illegal..

As I've said, web related things aren't my territory, but that's what knowledge I have of databases. If anyone else knows a way, that's great.

Yeah, This program isn't even remotely worth getting in trouble for.

I don't think there's any legitimate way of getting that information without asking the site owner. :/ Sorry, not much help. :/

Yeah, that's too bad.
Ah, well I'll just have to suffice with the most important stuff. Realized it's going to be trouble anyway with the DLCs since they have kinda dynamic IDs.
Honestly I just do those things to learn. It's nice though if you get something useful out of it. Thank you anyways crazywink.

I'm still listening if anyone should know anything though.

Okay, I want to Officially thank Konsowa once again. I now have my first version of the program ready. It added all the books in the entire universe of Skyrim in a click. I could never have added all those myself. Now building my local database will be very easy. And it don't hog the site more then normal browsing would which I think is important. And it's completely legal since I'm only using the information the server usually sends to the web browser.

I would post the program but I figured it only helps me in my quest. I rather post the Script Creator later on if I finish it.
