The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publishes a large amount of scientific data across the disciplines.  As science increasingly moves online and scientists eagerly seek quality data it makes sense that the data published by NIST be made available in a more web-enabled format. This presentation focuses on a proof of concept project to scrape data and metadata from pages of the IUPAC Solubility Data Series (http://srdata.nist.gov/solubility/) and make it available via a REST API on the authors website.  Search and browse functionality are made available via the interface and data points/datasets are published at unique REST URLs for referencing.  Finally, multiple export options (HTML, XML, JSON, JSON-LD) are available to allow both human and software usage of the data.
