I was told by a coder that information couldn't be retrieved from here:

HTML:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

but could be from here:

HTML:
http://www.google.com/sktool

Is this correct?

I thought that info can be retrieved from the 1st 1, as Market S@murai does it.

I know that a captcha would need to be filled in, which is fine.
 
He is saying that because after you enter captcha and it displays the results they arent visible in the source. They are displayed dynamically meaning you would have to some how intercept the data being passed between google and the browser.

Then again if your making a desktop app you could probably grab the info since your app is acting as the browser. Stuff like php will probably not work.

i have a C# prog that https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal 's

ask me nicely and ill put up the source L:)
 
Never tried with the second one, but it's definitely possible with the first one. I made a simple app, where you enter a keyword and get full report back with synonyms, exact searches etc..

You pass all the arguments to this script and you'll get your results: https://adwords.google.com/select/VariationsTool

Use some firefox plugin that shows you http headers to see what arguments are being passed.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what that means. The first one is the one that I was hoping to be able to retrieve results from.

So, the results could be retrieved using web-based code only, or would it need something like C+ or whatever to be used in the background (I guess on a Windows server?), and then the results passed to the web-based code from there?

Sorry for the stupid questions.
