Create a screen scrapping desktop program that searches specified sites looking for new listings for specified vehicles. Upon finding new listings, the program would check that listings vin# on [login to view URL] and if it passes, that vehicle is added to be exported with other new listings into a csv file and trigger another program to begin working. Easy to use desktop, Windows based program that will screen scrape the following sites: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] The program will accept inputs of vehicles based on make, model and a year span (1995-2002 for example). I need to be able to put in as many vehicles as I need to although I will be starting out with three. The program will allow me to enter a username and password for both [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] and change them on occasion as both site require accounts to be used. The program will be able to be scheduled to run at a specific time each day to look for specified cars not already in it's database (new listings). New listings from [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] will be checked based on their vin# on carfax.com. If [login to view URL] flags certain problems with a specific vehicle, the program will rate that listing accordingly such as A for clean or B for problems or C for major problems being listed. The program will then export all information on the new listings into a csv file, then automatically run an outside program that will handle the csv file from there. Program should be written with the idea that I plan to add addition car sites in the future which would need to be coded into the program at that time. More details can be given upon request. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
