I am looking to grab recently arrested info from the Maryland Judiciary website. As it it right now, I can go to the site enter my criteria and it will return a series of results that I have to click on each one and manually get the defendants information ( Name, Address, Charges, etc...)each defendant may be listed multiple times if there are several charges. The big issue is that I have to specify at least the first letter of the last name. So I have to run each search 26 times, 1 for each letter of the alphabet, for my date range. If the query exceeds 500 records the site will truncate the results so for some of the larger query's they may need to be broken up more to gather all results. I want a form that I can just put in a date range and specify if I want Criminal or Traffic data and it will conduct the search for me, for each letter of the alphabet and rather than displaying it all on screen, it should output to MS Excel. The data will also require some formatting so that I can easily perform a mail merge from excel. I currently have this program created in Java, it needs to be updated to deal with the large search truncation issue. I unfortunately don't have the source and the original programmer is no longer available for updates. It also stopped working this week. I have attached a sample output file from the current program. The Maryland Judiciary website is located here: [login to view URL] This does not need to be done in java I am open to suggestions. I will require that I get a copy of the source code. This would be Windows 8 &/or 10 compatible.

Hello Sir, We've done a number of web scraping projects for our clients. We have scraped many directory websites including yellowpages, yelp and e-commerce websites including amazon, walmart etc and many more. We can deliver the data very quickly. We use proxies with IP rotation to avoid being detected as bots. We use python with wget, scrapy, urllib and other tools to fetch webpages and parsers like HtmlXPathSelector, regular expressions etc to extract information from the html. I have gone through your requirements. We will develop this in Python as python is very fast for scraping purpose. I will need one team viewer session to install the needful to run the app on windows machine. The app will take date range as input alongwith type and scraps the information and create a csv file. We have the right skill set to do this job effectively and within time and would like to discuss more about this opportunity. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks, Shiv Agrawal

Hi there. I am a professional web scraper with experience extarcting bulk data from the web and building scripts that will allow my customer to perform searches as they want. I can guarantee you an excellent job and deliver as soon as possible. My suggestion would be to create the script in PHP and then run it using a server. This way you will build a database on MySQL easily exportable to Excel. Also, this method will allow you to run several searches at once which will be faster for you as well. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks, Daniel

Hello, i can offer application written in Java (desktop), with all source codes, comments and support after work is done. I have good experience in such applications and just finished similar one. Export of result data will be done using xls template, formatted as needed. Also, application will support multi-threading and will use proxy-servers if needed, so data extraction process will be done fast (depends on quality of proxy-servers). Application will have gui and console mode, for scheduled/timed tasks with sound or email notifications (with data) if needed. Also application might support dynamic configuration (depends on few circumstances), so future adjustments won't require code rebuild and could be done via config file/gui. Please contact me for more information. Thanks in advance.

I understand the requirements. There are several ways of doing this. One way would be to have an agent that constantly reads from that database new cases and downloads the information locally. That way, when you query for a specific date, it will instantly be able to gather the results. Another one would be a on-demand scan but i can assume that this will take some time. It would be great if you could also provide the already existing software. It could be possible to reverse engineer it so that you could still use the familiar interface and functionality that is 'tried and tested'. One way to get around the 500 limitation would be, in case a query returns more than 500 results for last name 'a', perform another 26 searches, aa, ab, ac...

I have experience in C# and the .NET framework. I am also proficient in the use of SQL server. I can create a WPF or ASP.Net MVC app for your needs that uses the Entity Framework to organize the data into objects. WPF gives you a great desktop application experience, whereas the MVC web application gives you more flexibility should you decide to host the application to make it available to more than one user or within a private network. I can be reached over Skype, phone, and email almost any time. i am looking forward doing business with you. Best regards, Daniel

I have just completed a very similar project. They had a website from which they wanted all the information in a neat and tidy table format, and the resulting tabulated information be posted to them. It was a Java based project and they are very happy with the results. The project description sounds very similar to what I just successfully completed. That is, automate the browsing process, gather all the information from the pages, sort them into a tabular form. On top of it, this project has a code base to start off instead of having to start from the scratch. This should make things a lot simpler. I will be glad to hear back.
