Hi...
I need a programmer who have good experience in scrapping..
The application will access 1 website (must handle cookies etc... as it will use my username & password),
then it will retrieve the contents of that account and save it locally at the PC.
The contents are text & images...etc.
So it will be like a personal backup of what's there on that account.
You may write this in any language you like, but it must work on desktop (Windows OS).
I think it's easy application... but will have some interesting challenges ;)
The account uses AJAX... so we will need to use a headless browser,
There are many headless versions of Firefox, Safari, and others.
(search for "headless X" ... where X is the browser engine you want to use).
Then will need to issue a separate request to the URL that returns the AJAX data and then parse it separately.
Anyway, if you're interested, please let me know and we can discuss this in more details.
Thanks, :)
Mary
P.S. I will be the only user of that account,,, but I still need an easy User interface that looks nice :)
Hello Mary, I'm an expert C# developer. I've used Headless built-in browser to access websites involving Ajax (Gmail). I know my way there :). Please check PM
Hello, I have read your project details and i am interested in working in it. I am having 3+ years of programming experience and have worked with several projects dealing with webscraping, web automation's and monitoring. Please check PMB for more details.
Greetings. It will be a pleasure to work with you again. Please provide me with the URL of this website so that I inspect it to consider the job. It's not necessary to use a headless browser, but anyway, I'll make my mind about the technology later after the inspection. Regards,
Hi, please, provide more information, such as the site URL, the information you need extracted and also sample output. Note that the price does not include a UI, it's only a console application. Thanks.
