Description of requirements/functionality:-

I have a website that I am looking to scrape and perform actions on the site depending on the data that is scraped.

This is NOT just a scraping project - most of the effort will be in applying the automation

The process will be:

1 - Login to the site

(I will pass on the details to bidders who are able to demonstrate they should be considered for the project)

The site is secured by a username and password but also an additional security question of which there are three questions / answers. e.g. Q. What is your pets name? A. Bingo

The site uses HTTPS.

2. Once authenticated, there is a main screen showing all the auctions that are currently live with their end times and their current price.

This needs to be scraped so that logic can be applied later.

3. In the last few seconds of the auction, the current price needs to be scraped. Then a decision needs to be made on whether to bid.

This decision will be determined by the auction current price and a predetermined logic

e.g. If current auction price is less than X and product = Y then bid Z

The auction system provides the ability to place multiple bids so there are cases where I may want the application to place multiple bids - I can discuss this in detail with developers when I disclose the site URL

The proposal should be:

Secure

Limit the number of calls to the website - i.e. if there is no auction closing within next few hours then don't refresh data ever minute (all auctions last 7 days)

Auditable - output the decisions made to a log with the time of each decision / action

Capable of working in 'test' mode - i.e. state what action would have been taken - that can be easily switched on/off without restarting the application – and should be visible what mode it is currently in

It is probable that I will need to run this on a server (virtual server perhaps) however I will need a mechanism by which to see what is being processed / audit remotely - This could be a simple log to dropbox or something better

I am not looking for random / unconsidered responses. Canned responses will be ignored

When replying to this, please provide:

- Cost

- Time to deliver

- Technology proposed to be used and a solution overview

- Details of similar work undertaken

- Demonstrate enthusiasm to work on this project!

I propose that there are two milestones for this project:

Milestone 1 - Code has been delivered and is operating in monitoring test mode (with projected decisions shown in logs)

Milestone 2- 2 days of successful monitoring followed by 3 days of successful live operation

I've worked on two relevant projects in the past. The first is a tool used on eBay to periodically search for auctions of a particular item and alert the user if the auction a) is about to finish b) doesn't have cert 更多
