$30-250 AUD

$30-250 AUD

Paid on delivery
I need someone to write a script that I can run from my linux machine (preferably written in PHP ) that will log into my account on [login to view URL] The script should grab a list of my ads and automatically grab the data from each ad (including images) before deleting the ad and reposting it. If the above is too hard, the script should be able to simply delete all my ads and re-post them again using stored values such as title, description, url, etc. If that's too hard, it should just delete all my ads and I'll manually create them again each month. To confirm you've ready this description properly, please bid exactly $43 and make sure you do not simply copy / paste your generic response to ads but instead, start your bid with the phrase gummy-bear so I know you're not a bot :) Finally, please tell me a little about yourself (favourite hobby, favourite programming language, anything you think is funny :) Thanks and good luck.

gummy-bear. Wow you put up 3 defenses against automated responses. I'll get right to it. Automatic posting is no problem. Since Gumtree is a large company, their website will probably be a little complicated, with cookies, crsf tokens, .. that's not a problem, however since I have not created a bot for this website yet, I'd like to review the source before confirming I can do this job for $43(minus the Freelancer fee). Favorite language: JavaScript. Favorite hobby: Abstract research.
