Bitcoin Forum

I do a lot of data scraping but am stumped.

LF a developer to create a tool to scrape all players "statistics" pages from from http://www.coretennis.net/majic/pageServer/0n0100000a/en/Search-Players.html.

Will pay at least 2 btc for this, negotiable.

Otherwise, am basically interested in players W/L records and other stats including points won, points won on serve/return, etc. for Futures/ITF (I have a source for this for ATP/WTA/Challenger)

Hi,

I am here to help now. PM me more details.

I've sent you a PM regarding this project.

Thanks

I have a fair amount of experience making web scraping programs (I recently did one for a member of this forum - Matthew (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24749)). This should be pretty easy. How does the scraped data need to be output?

Edit: Made some good progress. So far, I have a script can go through the categories, then the pages for each category and get the links to each player's profile.

New readers - please hold.

Will communicate through PM for completion - thanks for the replies! Anyone who got to this late - there will be more work. Thanks!

I can do this quite easily. Also interested in future work.

Anyone working on this may wish to know that you can go straight to the players statistics page by increasing the ID in the URL, like:
http://www.coretennis.net/tennis-player/*/32655/stats.html
http://www.coretennis.net/tennis-player/*/32656/stats.html
http://www.coretennis.net/tennis-player/*/32657/stats.html
http://www.coretennis.net/tennis-player/*/32658/stats.html
etc.

You should ofcourse start at 1 and go from there :P
The player name part of the URL is not important, as it's only there for SEO purposes, hence why you may use an * instead of the name.

Guys -
I am still working with Gweedo on his version of the 1st project.

I have a new, 2nd project:

Requirements:
-Needs to be so easy to run, a 10 year old can do it with little to no setup, and export in a format importable into excel.
-Needs to be able to run at least 500 item #'s at once.
-Example: B006QP0R2E (http://camelcamelcamel.com/Pyle-Sports-PHRM38PN-Monitor-Calories/product/B006QP0R2E)

I need to be able to provide a list of Amazon ASIN #'s. From that, i need to scrape:

Amazon.com:
Amazon price from Amazon.com

CamelCamelCamel.com:
-Amazon, 3rd Party New, and 3rd Party used price from CamelCamelCamel.com,
-"last 5 price changes" shown for each

Ookong:
Highest, Lowest, Now for Amazon and 3rd party (or price history)

Please post or PM bids. examples of work can be sent to statdude@statdude.com. I'll discuss and select someone for project. Payment will be 1/3 in advance.
Thanks!

(Edit: I have been able to set this up working great in google docs using "importhtml", but only works for under 50 #'s)
