Service Description:
ScraperGuy specializes in retrieving content from web sites.  I have a dedicated environment for this purpose with a high speed internet connection and the best tools for downloading, extracting, and formatting information.  Information in Excel spreadsheets can be automatically updated with information retrieved from the web.  Excel information can be used to create/update HTML or SQL databases.

My recent focus is on headless scraping and testing of modern Web 2.0 sites with heavy emphasis on javascript and ajax and ASP sites as well as sites requiring authentication. These sites are impossible to scrape using traditional methods that can only handle simple html.

Some of the projects I've successfully completed include extracting name and address lists, search engine results, telephone number lookup, and product catalogs and comparison prices from e-commerce sites.

I can provide you with data in the format you require or efficient scripts that you can run on your own Windows, Linux, or Mac machine.

I am also expert in processing name and address lists, matching and merging files, and standardizing information such as abbreviations, street names, city names, and product descriptions.

ScraperGuy is located in the USA and proudly provides services to customers around the globe. Fluent English spoken and written.

p.s.  I can't bid on your project if it's not in the appropriate category.  You'll need to change the category (Programming / Database Development) or contact me.

No middleman.  Don't pay a 3rd party fee.  Deal directly with me.
