README Excerpt

The NIST Chemistry WebBook is the gold standard public database for thermodynamic and physical chemistry data — the primary reference for chemical engineers running simulations in Aspen, COMSOL, or MATLAB. The interface, designed in the 1990s, has no API and requires tedious manual navigation through inconsistent HTML pages to extract data. Getting Shomate coefficients for a single compound means scrolling through multiple pages, copying numbers by hand, and repeating this for every compound in
