I'm in need of an automated tool that can be run off of an AWS EC2 server, that scrapes my portfolio data off of barchart.com. High-Level Requirements: 1. Create/Configure AWS EC2 instance to run developed software - I will provide limited access to AWS account to perform activity. - A general purpose T2 micro or small instance should suffice, but please let me know if you think otherwise and we can discuss. 2. Create automated script to access and login to my account on barchart.com. The login is a simple user name and password which I will provide formal agreement of the contract. 3. Develop (or configure opensource/freeware) web scraping tool that can pull table data from my portfolio on [login to view URL] into a CSV file. - The portfolio page also has a download to CSV option, which may actually just be easier to use than webscraping... I'm okay with either direction. - There are 7 sets of data, that can be viewed by selecting from the dropdown at the top right of the display of the portfolio. I require that all 7 sets of data be pulled down. 4. Create a Cron job (or similar scheduled procedure) that would run this process every evening at 7pm EST. 5. The scraped data should be consolidated into a single CSV file, and stored on a dropbox folder on the server so it will sync to my local machine. 6. A notification shall be sent to my personal email address once the job is completed. If this job is completed in a timely manner with quality, I will likely have other similar web scraping procedures to create that can be added on to this environment.

Hello, I'd be able to build you a nodejs script and chron job to do everything you require. I specialize in web scraping so it would be no problem to log into the website and download the csvs with your data. I would also be able to sort out your ec2 instance and the dropbox/emailing, however this will also require an email account that you wish to send the reminders from. Barring any changes in the barchart site structure, the result would be reliable, quick, and painless on your end. I could have it done for you by the end of this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Justin

Hi, I have 4 years of Python coding experience. I suggest you use the download into csv rather than scrapping the data. In that way if they modify the page structure, the download it will still work ok. I can have this ready in a few hours, the rest of the time is for making sure that the script does what you want it to do. Let me know if I can help, Bogdan

Dear Sir, I am Thomas, a 22 years old french student that just from university in 2010. Back when I was a kid, I only had a computer to play with, so I spent all my time on it. That's why I now have more than 7 years of experience in Linux systems administration, and I have knowledge with the most popular Linux distributions. I worked as a network/system administrator at various companies where I set up WebServer, DNS servers, Databases, Monitoring, Backups, Scripting jobs, Virtualisation and so on. You can checkout my profile and see how much Linux-related project I successfuly completed I am very good at bash scripting and as you can see the last project (or one of my last projects) I completed was using ec2 and s3, I created a bash script to auto-install software on ec2 and save that to an S3 bucket. Please come and have a chat with me, I am kind and helpful. Regards,
