Sep 17, 2014 at 13:47 comment added Klaus-Dieter Warzecha @SampoSmolander Mechanize is a Python module to emulate a browser and fill out forms, even the cgi stuff on the NISTwebBook sites. But you're probably better off to construct the URLs based on the CAS numbers, use urllib2 or requests to pull the data and process it with BeautifulSoup. A decent API would make our lives much easier!
