Create API

You're making an app to track all your favorite Big Bang Theory TV show episodes. Except you don't have an API to get all the episodes.
You check out IMDB. But IMDB doesn't have an API :(
Wikipedia has a list of episodes for all 5 seasons :)
It's time to "break out emacs and modify the perl script" to fetch all episodes and dump it in database. Or you can just create an API in APIfy.
  1. Open wiki page in Firefox or Chrome.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Big_Bang_Theory_episodes
  2. Right click on any episode and click Inspect
    If you're using Firefox, check out Firebug and Firefinder
