I am in need of a real-time web scraping solution for my website. I've been told Flash would be best for what I need. You guys can tell me what you would use.
Here is how I need it to work:
1) Users enter data into a form on my website
2) With my user's browser and IP address (not my server), the data is sent to a few 3rd party websites where the program enters the same data, in the same way as it was entered on my site. This will be done in the background and my users will see a blank page.
3) Results from the third part websites and scrapped and delivered back to my website's database.
And that's all I will need from this program. I have in place everything else I need once the data gets back to my database.
It's extremely important that the program runs on my user's web browser and not my server/hosting.
Again - I am open to any programming options to make this in or any other solutions to this problem you can offer.
PM me and I will provide links to which 3rd party websites I will need to scrape the info from.
