Description

SIMPLE JOB =)

I need a spider/screen-scraper for Facebook. Have supplied java version (needs tweaking) as a template.

REQUIREMENTS

Looking at pages like:

http://www.facebook.com/s.php?id=2207241125&gr=2&k=100000004

http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=100000000004&id=7629233915

(pages will be entered one at a time at the command line)

For each user record, I need to retrieve and store:

(a) the UID of the user

(b) the UIDs of EACH OF THEIR FRIENDS

This will involve following the "1 | 2 | 3 | Next" links on both the initial search results page, and the "View Friends" pages.


NB: This is for research purposes, and no personal data must be stored - only UIDs.

I will be using this data to perform some basic statistical analysis, and to draw network graphs.

Experience with this sort of project a must. Experience w/ Facebook preferred.

Application can run from the command line.



TURNAROUND TIME: TIGHT -- need this by Friday/Saturday. Simple job, but prepared to pay.
