• Project ID:

• Project Type:

  Fixed

• Budget:

  $30-$250 USD
  

Project Description:

Reason:
I am looking for someone to program a simple spider. I personally started on one a while back but have been having so many problems with it that I have resorted to outsourcing.

Purpose:
The purpose of this spider will be to browse "online phone books" such as anywho.com then collect and parse basic PUBLIC information such as names, phone numbers, and addresses and then store them in a database.

Features:
+Restrict the spider to only crawl links to search results.

+Make it easy to add on modules for other phone book sites (I will program these extra modules myself in the future)
+Make it so the following results are automatically stored in a MySQL database.
-Name
-Address
-Phone number

+A simple interface (just a simple HTML page with nothing more then a form on it will suffice)

Other Information:
I will provide you with the spider that I started working on so you may get a basic idea of what I am asking, you may create an entirely new spider or simply finish the one that I started.

Feel free to contact me for any further required information.

Skills required:

Linux, MySQL, PHP
