Port GHT scrape PHP code to GS

Closed this issue 15 years ago · 2 comments

The Google Hot Trends (GHT) search results are being captured and scraped with a PHP page right now. Google can lay down the banhammer on HayProj's web server and make this stop working, so the GHT page should be accessed client-side in the hayproj.user.js via a GM_xmlhttpRequest call.

This is being done in alpha; The GM ajax is totally asynchronous though, so code is running before the call is done grabbing the GHT page and generating keywords.

The port is complete, but there should be a separate issue made detailing the specifics of what's causing some clickthroughs to be ran twice.
