Need custom Windows based scraper created that will reside on either a home computer or remote server to do the following things

• Open HTTP or HTTPS connections to eBay at set times to either scrape the website or input information and scrape results for price comparison

• Parse or extract relevant information from scraped pages, relevancy based on records stored in database, most likely MySQL

• Open HTTP to fill out forms at multiple URLs to verify scraped information

Language scraper is written in is not important as long as it's fast, efficient and easy to install or run on a Windows PC. Install program may be needed, depending on which programming language is used

Looking for a programmer or group of programmers with experience in creating a scraper.

If interested in creating scraper with supporting programs and documentation, PM for details. Project will have multiple upcoming development stages and it is preferred to build long term relationships with programmers

Willing to negotiate on payment schedule but prefer to use escrow to pay programmers to ensure mutual satisfaction.

## Deliverables

Very detailed description of scraper expectations will be made available to interested programmers.
