Actually this seems to be the issue for every hosted MBS which is part of the http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net url... its not complicated to write a scraper for this.. and I'll do that soon but its not priority at them moment.. I should have a working version in a few months' time.. |

I do not seem to have any luck finding the mobile sites for simplifying scraping from MBS Direct sites..
According to the documentation, http://bookstoreurl.com/mobile/textbooks.aspx should give me the mobile version...
However, for the following bookstores... I cannot seem to find a mobile version:
http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/cdu.htm
http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/bsu.htm
http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/depaul.htm
Not having MBS Direct is not a dealbreaker as most institutions are leaving / have left it due to its complicated user interface... a search for "university" at http://www.mbsdirect.net/index.php will highlight what im talking about..
That said, it would be nice if I could find the mobile site in order to scrape MBS Direct.
