Automated grabbing infos from a website by mpt
Required skills: Perl/CGI, Script Installation
For academic research I need a small script which automates grabbing information from a website (Yahoo's "Keyword Selector Tool") and writing it into a textfile. The script should run on the the webserver (shared webhosting service) which my website is hosted on. The server has Perl 5.xx and MySQL database installed.
The script will be used in an adademic research project for a acquiring a PhD. It might lead to additional projects for the bidder, either for my research of at a business project inside a company.
The script needs to function as follows:
- First I go to a simple website (to be programmed) which contains only a text input field. In this field I input a list of keywords, one keyword (or phrase) per line.
- After clicking on the send button, the keywords should be saved in a text file (input file) on the server and the actual script starts working.
- The script takes the first keyword from the input file, goes to the website
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
enters the keyword into the search field and submits the search.
- Then it waits for the search result list, finds the keyword in the list, grabs the according number of searches (column "Count") and saves the information in an output file on the server.
- The script continues with the second keyword from the input list and performs the same steps as described, adding the new information to the same output file. It continues doing so until all keywords from the input list are finished.
The list of keywords which I enter into the text field could be as long as a few hundred keywords. It will take the script up to a few hours to complete the job. It must be programmed to run independently and stable, and be able to handle slowly responding Yahoo servers.
The above website is the English equivalent (just for explaining) but in fact the script will be used on the Japanese version of the Keyword Selector Tool:
http://inventory.jp.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Therefore the script must be able to handle Japanese characters, both in the input and output file.
Optional (not necessary, would pay extra):
- The first version only needs to grab the number of searches (column "Count"). But a second version could grab the complete list of search results and save it in a second output file (in addition to the first one).
- The output file would be downloaded manually from the shared server by me but it would be a bonus if the script would send the output file to a prefixed email address after finishing.
- The most time consuming part is the waiting time for the response from the Yahoo servers. It would be sufficient if the script works on one keyword a time. But if it can be programmed easily to work in multiple instances, on more than one keyword at a time, it would speed up the process significantly.
- It is fine for me if I have to wait until the scipt has finished one job before I submit my next search. But it would be a bonus if I would be able to input additional lists right after each other. The tool could save each list in seperate input files and work on them one at a time or simultaneously, saving the corresponding output files seperately.
The script should be finished within two weeks (not including the optional features). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

ing the job.
Please describe briefly which solution you can provide, e.g. programming language, etc. and at which price you would realize the optional features. Perl seems to be appropriate to me but in case you have other suggestions, please feel free to describe them. The solution should not take more than three weeks (not including the optional features), faster completion is welcome.

The script is for personal use but it is one of the first steps for experiencing in automatizing certain processes on the internet which I am doing as research in a PhD program.
If you are interested to do this please send me a PM and briefly explain how you can solve it. I will give you the website where the script should log into.
Thank you.

Automated data extraction from a website that includes Flash by acapitala
nd up with multiple copies of the same row of data.
A portion of the website is in Flash, so the program needs to figure out how to collect data from a Flash site. We will need both the source code and the binary/executable. You can write the program in any language, though it will be a big plus if you can write it in Ruby.
Similar automation programs are required for dozens of websites, so this could turn into a big project for the right coder.

The website has thousands of entries, and I am looking to collect as many as possible. Each entry has it's own page and the information I want is approximately 10 fields.
Many of the names will have complicated spelling so accurate data entry is a must.
This project is for 500 entries. If the work is good there will be further projects to scrape more data.

As I mentioned above, this is not difficult work, just time consuming. I would estimate that this should take about 8-10 hours to complete.
The information added must be correct and therefore I need someone who has a keen eye for detail.
If interested please post a bid.

Program that pulls ALL links from a website
o copy the link being redirected
-If the Excel file can be automatically filtered of duplicates and sorted by name (ie column A sorted A>Z) I would like that. However if this is a significant burden on the script, I DO NOT want this because I do not want any possible variables that could slow the script or cause it to stop midway through a link scrape.
If you can create a script that is reasonably user friendly please post your bid.
