Please read the revised project description. Major changes are
1. Reduced the # of website to spider and scrap.
2. The script need to be in Perl or PHP
3. Changed the CSV file format specification. Will provide the details to short listed providers
4.
Write a Perl or PHP script to extract data from the directory sites (21) provided to you. The script will store information in a csv file in a specified format. If any data item is not available then leave it empty (use two commas as,,). Store only valid records with name, address, telephone. Data from each site should be stored in separate files.
This job is easy for some body who already worked on web spider/ web scrapper as it just need involves adjusting the script for the individual website layout. The data presentation and search formats are very similar for many websites. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A manual copy of records from web page and don’t bid if you can’t write script to spider the URL specified and scrap the data from the search results.
Deliverables are
1. Script for each website
2. output CSV data files
