I would like to write a ruby script that pulls information about store products and organizes it. While I’m sure I have the programming knowledge to do this, I am not at all sure where this kind of information is made available via the web. Does anyone know of a database/api that exposes this kind of information. I would hate to have to write crawlers to crawl individual store websites and ….. parse HTML ……

Take a look at the Amazon Product Advertising API. It gives you access to the entire Amazon product catalog so it probably is the most extensive database you’ll find out there.
