I am searching for an java library for getting part data from RS-Online and Farnell. Is there anything like that out there?

In case there is not, what would be the best approach to do it on my own? I thought about loading the website with the respective part and then search it based on html ids in order to extract the information I need.

I figured out, that using selenium server is a good approach for doing this on my own. The fetching of parts can be done in less than 200 lines of code. Dependency to latest version:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
        <version>2.44.0</version>
    </dependency>
