The information must then be put into a CSV file and emailed to us. You MUST be an EXPERT at screen scraping, automated server scripts and CSV files. Please only bid for this project if you are an expert in all of these things. Thanks!

If I understood correctly then you want a service which grabs data from different websites, create csv and will mail to you. See there are 14 websites, so lots of investigation + testing need to be done. Also if you can list me few sites before hand so I can see their structure itself. Thanks

Hi , Screen Scraping will be based on cURL , which is way faster than an automated browser and rely on HTTP requests only without rendering the page . The time required to complete this project and the cost for it might vary depending on the complexity of the websites you wish to scrape. For more information about the project , you can reach us on chat . Best Regards .
