I need an expert in Web Scraping professional. You must have strong web scraping experience, working with highly secure systems that require precision in tracking cookies/headers/POST & GET Data using fiddler2.
You must also know PHP and OOP, plus MVC design pattern.
You must have a strong aptitude for testing to get this scrapement project to work. The systems/sites we will be scraping are third-party secure systems, in which we need to successfully login and send/receive data.
The actual application is already built using PHP OOP and MVC design. You will be simply working on additional modules using the same structure as the previously built modules, so the PHP work will be relatively easy, as it will simply be using previous modules as templates.
Your role will primarily be in successfully building the curl-based web scraper that can successfully go into one of these third-party systems and submit our data, and get the the third-party system's results/response back.
For now, the winning bidder will be awarded only ONE module/web scraping project. If he/she is successful, I will use them for the remaining 3 module as well.
I am looking for strong developers. Please only apply if you think you suite the requirements.
Thanks,
Project overview: we are trying to build a web application that collects client data, and submits it to 6 different web-based, third-party applications using web scraping/curl. Each of these 6 systems, is considered a module for this project, so you will be helping us scrape one of the 6 systems.
Seasoned web scraper. I worked on many similar projects, I have big experience in data mining projects. I can finish this task in short time, with the best quality.
Hi, I do have scraping experience in PHP, ASP.NET and Java in both desktop mode and web mode. Out of experience, I would like to say that a lot depends on the target website. You have specified that PHP curl will be the main basis for crawling the target; that is fine, except if the target website loads content via AJAX or other modes of DHTML then there is no way curl can get the data . In such cases manipulating a browser or something like webkit is the only way to get access to the content.
I am hoping the above is not the case. Please also specify if you are using a particular MVC framework. I appreciate the fact that you have been very clear in your specs. So the scope of this project is to do one of the 6 websites in question.
Are you particular about fiddler for http sniffing and tracking? I generally use Firefox addons like HTTPFox, Firebug and a couple of other tools to check the headers and traffic. Please let me know.
I have put in a bid amount for now, but its only after getting an idea of the target website can I really commit anything.
Thanks
