Need to backup, have to do it by crawling individual admin pages - roughly 60k webpages. Step 1: Log into a password protected website that I own, with admin credentials that I can give you. Step 2: Save the source html, and scrap/parse out all relevant data - preceded by value="data_I_need" Create cvs file. Step 3: Roughly 50% of those value= data fields will correspond to table columns in my database, once I confirm exactly the labels for each datafield, reparse the source files looking only for those value="data_I_need" that are preceded by name="some_label" (usually within 1-2 lines of html code) pretty straightforward regex stuff - feels like school doesn't it? The part I can't do is the saving source files in bulk part. I don't know much about web scraping. Anyway - I am familiar with coding as well, so it will be an easy project for you I hope. You probably have a script that does this already. I will leave you to bid. OBVIOUSLY those who take a minute to write to me with some kind of RE-ASSURANCE that tells me you can do the job quickly and it's no problem, and WHY - will get chosen. That's how this works right? ;) No boiler plate/template communications please. And thank you. Budget: Depends, could be $40-60, could be $100... could be $200. More similar work - especially with authentication security / prevention is needed if this job done properly. This is a test for your skills. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I have written a lot of complex scrapers before with features such as authentication, session management, AJAX calls emulation etc. I am sure I can be helpful for your project as well as subsequent ones. 60K pages sound a bit scary but they may scrape quite fast depending on your server and bandwidth speed. Also I hope the site you are going to scrape doesn't block you for too many or too frequent requests, otherwise some deliberate pauses may need to be used (which will slow it down even more). Many Thanks, Sergei

I assume that you only want the data in csv file on one single go. Also how many fileds are there to save in a row? And I assume that all 60K pages are same. Right? So a single script for a page will work for all 60K pages. Go through my profile to have trsut on me and my work Thanks
