Hi - I want to scrape overture bid prices from the overture bid tool using PHP. It has a capcha and I don't know how to defeat it. I know php and curl. I have been trying to figure it out for an entire day. I need some help. Can someone post code?
I have been trying to use CURL and PHP. Is there a way to semi automate it? Ask for a human to enter the capcha once? How do I get it so that the PHP remembers the fact that I entered the correct capcha once?
How would you semi automate? That's what I've been tring to do, I just want to have the regular overture bid tool, but on my site so I can can put the results in my database.
i thought the overture tool sets sessions on captcha completion. Capture the cookie it "tried" to send to you, and store it in a cookie collection. Then pass that back to the overture bidding tool when it requests it. Then you only have to do it once.
