207602 Script:Run Google&Track Result
Bajet N/A
I would like a script created that runs once a night and appends a text file. The script would run a Google Search requests, and track the search results "count". The script would than write info to a text file with the date ran, Google command, the number of search results found, and the language setting:
DATE COMMAND SEARCH RESULTS COUNT LANGUAGE
03/15/2008; filetype:doc; 34,700,000; Any
03/15/2008; filetype:doc; 4,890; Filipino
The script would run 30 different commands (filetype:xls, filetype:pdf, filetype:sw, etc.) for each of the 45 language options offered by Google - I'll send the filetype and language list to the winning bidder.
EXAMPLE
For example, this url is for filetype:doc and the language is Filipino – try it in your search browser:
[url removed, login to view];safe=off&as_qdr=all&q=+filetype%3Adoc&btnG=Search&lr=lang_tl
See the total results found is 4,890. Pretty easy.
YOU DECIDE THE BEST METHOD
I guess the script can run each URL? You decide the best method. As long as it works and I don't get blocked by a host or website.
MAKE IT RUN ONCE A NIGHT
Also if you can create the cron job or what ever is need to make it run once a night, that would be great.
SCALABLE
Write up some instructions so I can add more filetype:XXX to the script overtime.
MY GOAL
My goal is to put the text results into a spreadsheet and compare search trends once a day.
PROGRAMMING TYPE
If possible this script can be written in JavaScript .js file
BEFORE YOU BID
However you pick the best programming option (javascript, etc), and let me know how thes script can run each night.
Thank You!
