Hi Megan,
One way to do it is to change the URL - where it says 'command=browse'
or 'command=focus' while you navigate results, you can replace it with
'command=export' to get an N3 representation of all the results you're
looking at.
However, I don't know if you'll get anything besides what you already
see back in an export - that is, I don't think the export command
explores any more of the tree than what gets displayed.
If your JavaScript screen scrapers are executing model.addStatements,
then you should have a fairly good idea of what's supposed to be going
into your local model. You could do a utilities.debugPrint() on
statement components to watch in the JavaScript console, perhaps?
