title: Extracting information from AJAX based sites using Python
body: <p>I am trying to retrieve query results on sites based on ajax like www.snapbird.org using Python. Since it doesn't show in the page source, I am not sure how to proceed.
  I am a Python newbie and hence it would be great if I could get a pointer in the right direction. 
  I am also open to some other approach to the task if that is easier</p>
