I need a script that will scrape [login to view URL] and save the information in an xml file. Only the United States "Free" section needs to be scraped and I need to ability to specify the US city (e.g. chicago), area (e.g. sox) and neighborhood (neighborhood should be optional since most cities don't offer this; see "sf bayarea", choose "sby", click "free" and notice the neighborhood dropdown). Here's the list of information that is needed from the scrape: URL of Post URL(s) of photos (if available) Title of Post "Reply to" Email Address Post Description Date Posted This script can be coded in Python (preferred) or Ruby

Hello! I've worked on some screen-scraping in the recent past with python and am confident that this can be done quickly. If I bid at a higher price than others, it is because of my experience and because I am convinced that I can deliver a better product than my competitors. I have estimated conservatively on time to ensure that the quality is there. I look forward to working on this and delivering a good result that you can be happy with. My desire is to begin a longer-term relationship with customers so that we can work together on future projects as well.
