Budget:
$30-250
Status:
Pending


Job Type:
PHP, XML, Data Processing
Description:
I require a PHP scraper to collect business data from the Australian Yellow
Pages and export it to a MySQL & CSV.
My focus in on "restaurants".
The script will be run in Windows on a local Apache Server.

Please see attached file for guide as to which data needs to be scraped for each
listing.

The script should:
- be written in PHP and use the CURL library.
- be well documented with meaningful variables & comments so that I can
modify it if needed.
- open each individual listing and extract all required data. See attached pdf.
- must be able to export the data to a MySQL file & CSV file.
- must be able to extract the data from the sponsored listings.
- must be able to automatically extract the data from the continuing pages i.e.
2, 3, 4 onwards to get the full data.

Extra Features that I would like:
- ability to choose to export data to only MySQL or CSV file or both.
- Use PHP’s DOM Functions To Parse The HTML
- ability to pause/resume script. I could be scraping up to 20,000 listings.
- ability to switch between extracting all data and extracting only General
Business data (
div id="heading-inner" & div id="businessProfile) see
attached pdf. This way I can scrap other categories other than just
"restaurants".
- fake UserAgent - Googlebot

When the script is completed I would like to see an example output in CSV &
MySQL.
