We are building a wine oriented shopping comparision website. We need someone to provide a spider that will spider [[login to view URL]][1], get extract product information and enter _only_ the product information into a database. We do not need the web pages stored.
The information that needs to be extracted for each product is:
1. Name of wine being sold
2. Size of bottle in ml (375, 750,1500,3000,6000) - **if the bottle size is not on the page, it should default to 750**
3. Price in numeric format
4. dateTime information was extracted
The spider must be complete and accurate - all wines need to be listed and the information for each must be accurate.
We will provide a MS SQL db. **You must provide a method that we can install on our servers and run routinely to constantly update the product information.**
Preference will be given to solutions that run on MS Windows machines and/or are Coldfusion based.
Please check our other proposals - we have one other spider proposal for bid. The winning bidders could potentially be designing several hundred of these for us.
