I'd like a program/script that does the following:
-resides on my host's server (OS linux)
-I provide in the script an address (or multiple addresses) of Craigslist searches. For example:
[login to view URL];subAreaID=&query=nintendo&catAbbreviation=sss
-It makes this query every X minutes (I am able to specify in the script)
It then appends the result to a flatfile (CSV).
I'd like the following stored in the database for each resulting post:
Query Address
Date/Time of Query
Title
Location
Date/Time of post
Body
PostingID
Category1 - i.e. "seattle craigslist"
Category2 - i.e. "seattle"
Category3 - i.e. "for sale / wanted"
Category4 - i.e. "video gaming"
URL
I'll also pay extra for an email notification feature. This would entail the following:
-For queries I specify, an email is sent to a specified email addresses, whenever that query comes up with a result
-For other queries I specify, an email is sent to a specified email address every Z minutes with the latest results from that query
Please specify in your bid if it includes the email feature or not.
I am open to revisions to this proposal, if anything seems problematic though. Thanks.
I can readily deliver this project as per your requirements. I will include a simple user interface to make your job easy so that you don't have to modify the script.
The cost does not include email notifier.
Please contact me if you are interested.
PS. In future I may be able to provide you automated tools to automate work so that it will increase your efficiency and reduce manual work.
