To make you pay for the API.
The text is in the alt attribute of each image's HTML element. So it should be a breeze to scrape it.
its not like they hide the text that much though;
jsonArray.popups.i_0100_1 = {"stringified": "Brisbane,Queensland","mInput": "","mOutput": "", "popLinks": {"Brisbane, Queensland":"Brisbane"} };
Each image tag also has its source data embedded in its alt attribute.
