Cannot help you with your original question, since all links now seem dead!
However, using YQL , you can still achieve what you are trying to do.
What is YQL? select * from the Internet Yahoo! Query Language (YQL) allows developers to query, filter, and combine data on the Internet. YQL provides SQL type syntax that is familiar to developers and expressive enough to get the right data.
There is also a list of community-provided tables you can use, which can be found at http://www.datatables.org/
To use this, all you have to do is import the community tables into the online YQL console or follow this convenient link here , which will provide you with a list of all tables from datatables.org and access to them from the YQL console.
I had a quick search on these tables marked as movies, so here are a few questions you can try to get more information! Although most of them are from nyt and require an api key, yahoo seems to have taken care of this for us - the information here and a link to the console with this imported data will be here , so for the examples below you are probably using this link best.
select * from movies.showtimes
select * from nyt.movies.critics
select * from nyt.movies.reviews where reviewer = "VINCENT CANBY"
Since I don’t know enough about what you need the data for, I don’t know if any of this information will be useful, but I hope this:]
