358054 Craigslist Automation Bot

////// CRAIGSLIST BOT SPECS ////// ////// OVERVIEW ////// This bot will be coded to post ads on Craiglist. This bot will serve as an automation tool that once configured and started will automate the task of posting links on Craigslist. ////// REQUIREMENTS ////// Bot will be coded in Java and run on a Windows Operating System. We are looking for a senior Java programmer to develop the bot for us. Bot will need to absolutely emulate an Internet Explorer browser - Craigslist does some very trick things in regard to detecting bots so extremly accurate browser emulation is absolutely required - No exceptions. We don't want any footprints left when bot is runing/posting ads. Bot will use SOCKS5 Proxies w/ Username/Password Authentication. Bot will have the ability to query a Proxy List every X minutes to obtain a fresh working proxy list (we will provide the source for the proxies - bot will query by a http URL). Each time the bot queries the remote proxy server, the server will return back 10 proxies. Proxies returned from the remote server will already be checked to ensure they are "working/online". Proxy will also contain it's geographic location. Format of proxies returned - IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD:COUNTRY:STATE - As you can see this will include IP Address, Port, Username, Password, Country IP is located in, and State IP is located in. Bot will use a proxy from the returned list of Proxy IPs. Included with the Proxy IP will be the State the proxy is geographically located in. Bot will pick a Craigslist city within that state and post the ad. Since there are many cities in a state bot needs to have a methodical and logical approach to spreading out what cities it's posting to for that particular state. For example... If the bot picks an IP in CA, bot would post to Fresno, CA on the first post. If the bot picks an IP from the proxy list again from CA, the bot needs to post in another city besides Fresno, CA. Bot should have logic to post to all cities in CA, before returning to the first city it posted in for CA. This will ensure the posting of ads is spread eventually throughout all cities for all states. Bot will integrate with [login to view URL] for the translation/decoding of CAPTCHA images. Bot will also be integrated with [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] will server as a backup captcha service in the event [login to view URL] is down/unavailable. Bot will have the ability to post in Craigslist Jobs and Craigslist Personals - All City/States Required. ////// SOCKS5 & GEOIP ////// Bot will use SOCKS5 Proxies w/ Username/Password Authentication. Bot will have the ability to query a Proxy List every X minutes to obtain a fresh working proxy list. Each time the bot queries the remote server it will return back 10 proxies. Proxy results will randomly picked from the proxy database on the remote server and returned to the bot. Proxies returned from the remote server will already be checked to ensure they are "working/online". Proxy results will also include GeoIP location of the IP (The remote server is using MaxMind GeoIP Database). Proxy format will be as follows: IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD:COUNTRY:STATE Bot will use a proxy from the returned list of Proxy IPs. Included with the Proxy IP will be the State the proxy is geographically located in. Bot will pick a Craigslist city within that state and post the ad. Since there are many cities in a state bot needs to have a methodical and logical approach to spreading out what cities it's posting to for that particular state. For example... If the bot picks an IP in CA, bot would post to Fresno, CA on the first post. If the bot picks an IP from the proxy list again from CA, the bot needs to post in another city besides Fresno, CA. Bot should have logic to post to all cities in CA, before returning to the first city it posted in for CA. This will ensure the posting of ads is spread eventually throughout all cities for all states. ////// PLEASE READ ////// We will provide winning bidder exact screenshots of graphical layout, structure, and detailed functionality requirements. We cannot stress enough that the bot MUST emulate an IE Browser session as Craigslist is very tricky on throwing things out there to detect bots. Bot also MUST be able to work with SOCKS5 Proxies WITH username/password authentication. We will provide example proxies to use when you are developing application. ////// FINALLY ////// We don't want any junk. We want a serious program that works flawlessly and doesn't crash, stall, have memory leaks, and is FULLY TESTED by developer prior to handing us the build (we understand minor bug will possibly occur during initial builds). We are looking for a serious developer to code this bot. We want someone that is experienced and has done this before. PLEASE NO ENTRY LEVEL CODERS. Candidate should send us a message explaining the following... 1) What language you will use to code the software 2) Your level of knowledge in the Java coding language 3) Other projects you have done that are similar 4) Your experience with SOCKS5 Proxies w/ username/password authentication 5) Any other details that you feel are important. Please include any past experience with requirements we are looking for. // ONLY BIDDERS WITH POSITIVE FEEDBACK WILL BE CONSIDERED - THANKS! //
