This is a very simple job, but one that may be time-consuming. It is also a matter of generating data, not collecting existing data.
To give an example of the process, go to <[login to view URL]>. I am looking for someone to generate data for different golf tournaments over the last 4 years. It would merely involve:
1/ specifying the players to be included in the analysis (copy/paste from an Excel file)
2/ clicking on the 'Generate all tables' link and entering the relevant dates, course, location info on the next page
3/ Click on confirm and wait for the script to complete
4/ Run the web queries in an existing Excel file to scrape the data that you have just generated and copy that data into a different worksheet to be stored.
It is straightforward, but the 'generate all tables' scripts can take up to 10 minutes to complete and this is to be repeated for 187 different tournaments.
It will presumably speed if the data generation process if I supply the successful bidder with the necessary files for this to be run on a local server rather than on the web server every time.
I'm not sure what will happen if several people try to run the 'generate all tables' script at the same time; it may results in errors or the script not completing, so please be patient and let me know if this does happen.
Thanks
