Scrape data from akamai visualisation tool

I am currently working on a project for which I need to monitor some data from the akamai platform as visualised here: http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/dataviz3.html .

I did quite a bit of research, but did not manage to successfully scrape data from the 开发者_如何转开发swf objects. If anyone has any idea on how this could be done, I would be grateful to hear.

All you need to so is use something like the Firefox Firebug addon to see what the webpage is downloading.

So in the case of this page, it looks like all the data it uses is from:

http://wwwnui.akamai.com/datavis/pview_feed.xml

http://wwwnui.akamai.com/datavis/visitors_feed.xml

http://wwwnui.akamai.com/datavis/media_feed.xml

Then you can parse the data with lxml and do with it what you want.
