We are a young startup looking for a reliable individual who has a passion for development. This will be an ongoing project with multiple iterations / stages towards building a larger project. We would like to build one dynamic spider that can crawl websites of within a certain business sector for basic information and then spit the desired data out as a simple .xml or .csv file. It should work as follows: Example: There would be an admin panel where the administrator can set certain parameters. 1. Crawler's Subject matter in this example will be clothes 2. Admin will create a set of (sub)categories (shoes, hats, pants, socks, shorts, etc.) 3. Admin user can Enter the desired URL to crawl ***This script should be built to work across any site inputted*** 4. The crawler will then pull data for individual products storing the product information into categories like: "Category(s), Product Name, Product #, Size, Color(s), Price, Website, Product image URL, Product URL, etc." 5. The Data will be stored in either an XML, CSV or whatever file format solution is be best for pulling the data QUICKLY and on the fly. This info will be stored and frequently checked against for updates (via the crawler). This application will be used continually for 100s to 1000s of sites. Please note we are looking for the right developer, so if you feel the budget too high or even too low please submit your proposals accordingly. We are open to hear what you have to say. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Again, this is guaranteed to be an ongoing project if this first phase is successful and can become quite lucrative. Thanks!

Dear Phyve staff, thanks for posting this interesting and challenging project. If you are serious about building something like this I'd be glad to offer my expertise. I've been successfully writing complex custom site crawlers and data mining tools before, so I can offer a solution which is both effective with respect to the high concurrency which is preferable when a large number of sites must be crawled, and also with respect to the data processing that will be required to extract the semantic data. You should be aware that extracting semantic data from "any site" as you write is not easily done because the machine-readable structure is only specified up to visual presentation of the data. When it comes to extracting data like "product name", "price", "category", every site can do it differently, so there will be no waterproof solution. However, I am experienced in writing advanced data mining engines which we may use to systematically applying some structure to the data. We can have the spider download the raw data from the sites, and by comparison with other sites determine what is likely to be a price, or a product name, etc. This means that we should start with a couple of sites (ideally with a lot of products being shared between sites), and from there to refine the algorithms step my step. Regarding storing data for fast retrieval, I propose using a database or a CLucene index (where I contributed to). Best regards, Isidor Zeuner

The Job The job involves scraping products and prices info from any website, and storing in database. My Work: I have developed (in the Java Programming Language) a Generic Web-Scraper Tool - called OpenMana Web Information Miner (OmanaWIM) - that can be configured to scrape any information from any website. It can do log-in, process JavaScript / AJAX call results, chase multi-level links, post search-forms and handle pagination; can accept / process response in XML; can download images and files; is multi-threaded in a configurable way; can use proxies; supports user-specifiable filters; scraped info can be delivered in JSON or XML / posted to database or Excel/CSV. There will be no need to write site-specific code. Can work for future needs also. The Tool has a Dynamic Discovery Module. This tool can also straightaway work with sites exposing HTTP-protocol-based APIs / web-services. My Solution: I propose a solution in Java, built on top of my OmanaWIM tool. The solution will use the following open-source libraries: 1. Selenium WebDriver with FireFox 2. HtmlUnit 3. Castor XML, JExcel, SuperCSV Deliverables 1. Perpetual Non-exclusive non-transferable node-bound Use Licence for the OmanaWIM Tool (with Dynamic Discovery Module) with executable Java Application without source code . 2. Custom Java classes for populating database, with source code. 3. Configuration-files 4. Installation Guide Me 15 + years rich experience in software development.

There are 2 broad categories of choices with this type of system. The one you asked for and anticipate is based on regular expressions. These are popular because alot of people know Perl, Python and PHP but a moments thought would indicate why they are not robust - 1) A small change in the mark up conventions can throw everything out and not extensible 2) Regular expressions are ok in small doses but they are hard to parse and not an extensible way of building a system. Then there is my way. This is a domain specific problem (markup processing) which has a domain specific technology stack (the XML technology stack - XSLT, XQuery native XML databases etc). This is the RIGHT solution using tools attuned to munging markup and storing results in a domain specific repository. It is not popular because most people lack the skills and the general habit in IT is to shoehorn a job into the skills that you know - how else would you end up trying to process markup with a tool that is completely devoid of any markup semantics (regular expressions). So my proposal is for the building of a queryable (via HTTP) XML repository that implements a data model based on the domain of interest. I am a top 10% earner on oDesk and have just built a similar system for extracting movie data into a database. It is unrealistic to expect this to be something that you can point at any site as each site would have it's idiosyncrasies but a general framework can be built for this genre of problem.
