Scheduled Web Scraping & Data Consolidation Job

$30-250 USD

Posted over 8 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I'm in need of an automated tool that can be run off of an existing AWS EC2 server, that scrapes a set of table data off of barcharts.com. High-Level Requirements: 1. Run developed software on existing AWS EC2 instance - I will provide limited access to AWS account which has an already setup EC2 Micro server running another scheduled scraping job. 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 a specific set of table data on [login to view URL] into a CSV file. 4. I would like the procedure to run a consecutive set of times based on a list of stock "tickers" I put in a .txt or .csv in a dropbox folder that is already accessible on the AWS EC2 server. - Once logged in the job can easily load the individual pages by hitting the following a predefined URL. Example below. "SNSS" part is "Ticker", so software can easily append that to the URL for each scrape. [login to view URL] 5. Create a Cron job (or similar scheduled procedure) that would run this process once a week on Fridays at 9pm EDT. The scraped data should be consolidated into a single CSV file, and stored on the existing dropbox folder on the server so it will sync to my local machine. - As a part of the CSV file creation, please add column for "Ticker" and assign to each row of the relating data. 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.

G'day Javier, I'm well placed to deliver this project for you as I am familiar with and set up the existing environment. It would work in much the same manner as the last script I provided for you which I assume is running smoothly. This scraper will be slightly more vulnerable to page layout changes than the last but it is only a small job should you ever want it fixed up. As always please message me to let me know what you think. Regards, Justin

Hi, I'm interested in your project, but point 6 may be undoable on aws micro instance (A notification shall be sent to my personal email address once the job is completed) - as far as I remember, aws blocks email sending from micro instance (especially if it's a free one). so unless you have some api for sending emails or you're willing to move into VPS server (around $10/mo) - I cannot guarantee email sedning from that script, but all other points will be met :)

I have done a number of such scrapers and data analysis scripts in the past on various projects for various employers. You should think of a further project to digest your data and send you nicely formatted - readable email reports.
