Description:	Website Scraping Project Specifications: I need either a Windows desktop based, or a web based application that I can host on a Linux Server, to scrape data from individual dealership listings from either Autotrader.com or Cars.com. I do not need to scrape either entire site. Each dealership has from maybe 10 to 200 or more vehicles on separate, linked pages. These specific dealership listings are what I need the data from. I will need to process only one dealership's listings at a time. I will need to be able to simply select whether the vehicle listings are from Autotrader.com or Cars.com, paste in the individual dealership URL (see below for example URLs), and have the specified results data for that specific dealership exported via a specific tab delimited file format (see uploaded text file as example). Here are example dealership listings from Autotrader.com: http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dda/inventory.jsp?dealership_view_name=suntreemotors&dealer_id=58243828&sort_type=make_modelASC&car_id=null&result_car_id=null http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dda/inventory.jsp?dealership_view_name=integritymelbourne&dealer_id=100014504&sort_type=make_modelASC&car_id=null&result_car_id=null Here are example dealership listings from Cars.com: http://www.cars.com/go/search/search_results.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=26&cid=&dlid=159056&dgid=&amid=&cname=Auto+Trend&rd=&ddrd=&zc=32931&makeid=&modelid=&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&criteria=C-159056%7CK-%7CE-%7CN-N%7CR-%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-32931&aff=national&aff=national http://www.cars.com/go/search/search_results.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=26&cid=&dlid=170256&dgid=&amid=&cname=Carport+of+Orlando&rd=&ddrd=&zc=32931&makeid=&modelid=&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&criteria=C-170256%7CK-%7CE-%7CN-N%7CR-%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-32931&aff=national&aff=national The fields for the specified results are as follows: The current date Stock number VIN Price Year Make Model Engine Exterior Color Interior Color Mileage The specific exported data file format is tab delimited as per the attached example.
