This project is to write code in C# to scrape a variety of spreadsheets and pdf files from a list of sources across the internet. You will be provided with a code framework that provides methods to pull the data and save it. You will need to define the data you are scraping as C# objects (with entity framework "code first" attributes) and implementing the scraping logic for each file. A sample of the pattern we wish for you to follow is included. There are simple wrappers provided so you can give a URL or local file and get the relevant Excel\PDF\Html library loaded with the data for you so you only need to write the scrape logic and objects not the infrastructure. The libraries being used are: ClosedXml\OpenXml (Excel 2007+) NPOI (Excel 2003 and earlier) iTextSharp (PDF) HtmlAgilityPack (Html - probably not required for this project) The spreadsheets and pdf files we want to scrape can be found by looking at the below links: NOTE 1 - In many instances there are identical files for different time periods, so you can reuse the same scrape (so it isn't as many as it might look like at first) NOTE 2 - Sometimes there are zip files that contain multiple spreadsheets\pdf files which also need to be scraped. NOTE 3 - Sometimes there are PDF and Excel files representing the same data. In these cases you only need to scrape one of them (probably the spreadsheet as it is easier to do) [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL]

Hi! Mr. Goodier = ) I have gone through all the links that are under project description. Basically, I counted the number of files on each link, there are around 450 files, considering there are some "master files" that would contain data in outer distribuited files for years/products and so on. There are links that have many files, like one from the Italian government has 110 files. Others like the one from the USA or Brazil, have open links that could lead to more file links, so here I would expect you check to see if you will need files from those. On last project, average fee per file was $5 Usd, If I use that as reference then my bid goes way overbudget with the. So I have adjusted to match the one you specified here. Finally, I notice you mention the ITextSharp and HtmlAgilityPack. I have worked on both, with a note on iTextSharp which I don't find really great processing PDf as with previous experience, but anyways there are other libraries that I could use for doing the job. Many thanks on inviting me to bid on project. Looking forward! Best regards, Sergio

@BlackStarGazer

If the infrastructure is written and you only need the scrapping algorithm , I may finish this in 5 to 7 days ,but I have to see your Code Framework first before committing to this . Also , I noticed that your source Links contain PDF & XLSX for the same data , If this is the case you don't need ITextSharp Lib .
