FTP/Web based CSV file which updates from Autotrader listings

Hello Good Day! I understand that you require a web-based solution that is capable of refreshing and updating a CSV file from Autotrader listings at specific intervals during the day. Having over 15 years of professional experience in the field of web development, I am confident that I can provide a solution that meets all your requirements. The solution I propose would employ a script written in PHP, a language I am well-versed in, which would run on a schedule three times a day as per your requirement. This script would check if any new listings are available on the specified Autotrader page, scrape the necessary data and update the CSV file accordingly. It will also detect price changes in existing Autotrader entries and update them in the CSV file. Listings that are no longer available on Autotrader will be removed from the CSV file to ensure the data's accuracy and relevancy. In past projects, I have successfully developed similar data scraping tools and received positive feedback from clients, which you can check on my profile. I assure you of my commitment to deliver a robust and efficient solution that fulfills your project requirements. Sincerely, Rinsad

Hi! I'm George, an experienced web crawler expert and I think I'm the perfect fit for this project. I believe I possess the necessary technical skills to design and build a script or macro that will automatically detect and extract data from Autotrader listings and export it to the relevant CSV files. My team and I have already completed a similar project involving web scraping and development of a custom web scraping tool. I am confident that my experience and working knowledge of web scraping can be of great help in this project. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this project. I'd be happy to answer them. Questions: 1. Do you have a specific programming language (e.g. Python, R, etc.) in mind for the script/macro? 2. How do you want to access the extracted data from Autotrader? 3. Do you have an existing system/ infrastructure for the data processing? 4. What criteria do you plan to use to detect price changes on existing entries? 5. How many Autotrader listings will there be? I look forward to hearing from you. Best, George
