Be wary about using data with names. The IRB may be upset with this.

Subject: st: question : linking results of web queries to data
Hi all,
I need to query a website for some extra data that I would link to my
existing one. I am using Stata 11.1 on Mac and Unix.
My data has names of people, and I should query a site using CGI
(http://ideas.repec.org/cgi-bin/shortid.cgi) and collect a single
string from the resulting pages into a new variable.
I don't know enough about Perl (etc.) to simply write the right
script, run it with -shell-, and get the data that way. I would
appreciate any guidance (tools, examples) on how this could be done, I
have not found this functionality in (and 'around') Stata so far.
Thank you,
Laszlo
