       An  increasing  number  of  web  repositories rely on tag-based
       metadata  to  organize and classify their content. The users of
       these  systems  freely  associate tags to system's resources --
       e.g.,  URLs,  images,  bookmarks. The term folksonomy refers to
       this  collective  classification,  which  emerges  from tagging
       carried  by  users interacting in web social environments. \par
       We   proposed   a   hybrid   entity   to  fuse  ontologies  and 
       folksonomies,   we   call   ``folksonomized  ontology'',  which 
       combines   complementary   aspects  of  both.  The  formal  and 
       engineered  knowledge  of  ontologies  is fused with the latent
       semantics of social data. \par In this technical report we show
       the   implementation   of   a  crawler  to  collect  data  from 
       folksonomic  systems  on  the  web.  We discuss the API of this
       systems and the way the data was stored.
