Project Detail

Description

I need a fairly sophisticated bot / scraper / extraction script to scrap a large database of company information. All information will come from one website.

WEBSITE URL AND DETAILS TO BE PROVIDED VIA PMB ONLY. I can also provide various input / data files that may be of use when extracting the data. Example: City, State, Zip, etc.

It's fine to provide a "placeholder" bid in order to get the URL information, etc. After that you will be able to modify your bid accordingly.

Project Specifications:

• Extract full location details from specified website
• Results to be presented in excel (2003) format or CSV file.
• In addition to the results, I also must receive a copy of the bot / script you create.
• You must agree not to resell the data collected on my behalf.
• No prepayment - so don't ask.
• GAF escrow with payment upon completing the project to my satisfaction.
• Failure to deliver the project on time = project cancellation and NO payment. No exceptions. Sorry, I've been burned too many times.

Bid Requirements:

• Max bid to be considered is $200 (but I expect I'll pay less)
• Bid price must be visible, not hidden in the PMB
• MAX. 8 days from winning the project to complete the task.
• Include "hi jb" in your bid to confirm understanding/agreement with my terms of this project

Winner Selection Criteria:

• The provider that can deliver the best solution for the best price will win.
• GAF newbies are welcome - no feedback on GAF is necessary.

Thanks for considering my project. If you have any questions, then please ask.

Cheers,
JB

Given the volume of data to extract it may be wise to have the info populate a database. This is not mandatory, but will simply things for me.
