Hi Guys I just need the assistance from a programmer to tell me if it is possible to scrape information from a website and display the results on mine. I also want to know how much I will be charged if this is possible. Please PM me and I will provide more info.
PM SEnt. C/C++, Perl, Python, PHP/MySQL, C#, .net. I can program whatever you may want, website script or desktop applacation. I can also program iphone apps.
HI Rian - It honestly depends on the website from which you want to scrape the data from - If its an image then of course the only option you will have is to download it or take a screenshot and save. If its text then yes it should be possible to scrape - The price however depends on the complicity of the scrape and the format you want the results saved in - SO for example you may need some data scraped from within a site that uses iframes which would require a different method to one that doesnt use an iframe. My suggestion to you would be to post your project as complete as possible however i do understand the reason why you would want to keep urls anonymous as i dont think anyone would appreciate automated scraping of their data. Now to have the data posted onto your website then that is also a different area - Unfortunately an area outside of my expertise but believe HowDoYou has the php knowledge to do this for you. I could create you a desktop app in .NET 3.5 which will do the scraping for you and then save to a text or csv for you - You would then need to manually add the data to your site - or i could create you an app that would also login to your site and add the data for you - So actually yes i can get this automated for you but will need to look at the sites -
