Write some Software

I need a way to query data from [url removed, login to view] and kijiji.ca. For each page on the site, I need:

a) number of visits (from a counter at pagebottom)

b) category (jobs, etc)

c) city (Toronto etc)

d) datetime posted

To limit the number of scrapes, I'd like to specify the cities and categories as filters.

This can be implemented in a number of ways, whichever works:

1) as a scraper. Ideally I want this to be a hosted service (I can host it myself on a server). In the worst case this can run on a desktop. It must be able to run regularly (cronjob or other scheduler).

2) as a query service. YQL is a nice implementation option (see [url removed, login to view] . This has already been implemented for craigslist, you can start with that example).
