Abstract: A system and method provides instructions for execution to a software extension module. The method includes establishing a network connection between a software extension module and an instruction source; generating a textual instruction from an instruction of the instruction source; and sending the generated textual instruction to the software extension module over the established network connection, wherein the software extension module is configured to receive the textual instruction and generate therefrom the instruction of the instruction source.

Abstract: A system and method for scraping web pages based on a predetermined web page template is disclosed. The method includes: requesting a first plurality of web pages from a web server, each web page including a markup language document having a first plurality of data fields; determining a web page structure for the first plurality of web pages, wherein a first data field of the first plurality of data fields is matched to a second data field of a second plurality of data fields of a web page template; scraping a second plurality of web pages from the web server based on the determined web page structure; and storing scraped data from the second plurality of web pages in a local cache.

Abstract: A system and method for committing preauthorized database transactions generates a preauthorized database transactions based on a received parameter and a parameter value. The method further includes storing the generated preauthorized database transaction in a temporary storage; accessing a reference database to determine a current value of the received parameter; determining that a current value of the received parameter matches the received parameter value; and committing the preauthorized database transaction to a database.

Abstract: A system and method perform near real time scraping of a web page to generate a modified web page. The method includes receiving a uniform resource locator (URL) request directed at a web server; detecting in the URL request a textual resource and a non-textual resource; generating a request for the textual resource over a first network path including a first determined latency; generating a request for the non-textual resource over a second network path including a second determined latency, which is greater than the first determined latency; receiving the textual resource and the non-textual resource; scraping data from the textual resource; and generating a modified web page based on the scraped data, the textual resource, and the non-textual resource.
