Script Needed to pull data from websites

Please visit the following websites:- [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] The above are supermarket websites where people can order online and recieve delivery or pickup their orders. YOUR TASK:- I need a script that can pull data from these websites. Data = the products and their prices listed on the websites. Note that these are updated frequently that is hourly at times. You can use any language to do this no constraints. Once the product list is generated and prices have been recovered there will be 4 databases or 1 with 4 tables for each supermarkets data. I will let you decide on the option which would be better but would require a justification. Please elaborate on your design when bidding. Lastly, the data is available for public use that is product listing and prices therefore there are no legal issues. If you are successful in convincing me regarding this work and deliver it further work of creating a website for this project will be awarded to you. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for your time. ## Deliverables * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Thursday May 8, 2008 5:32:52 PM: Hi Everyone, I would not like to use Access due to portability issues and database size issues. To give you more understanding following is the aim:- Prerequisite we are able to successfully pull data on a regular basis from these websites into our databases and tables. AIM To allow the customer to create an order as the above websites but provide them with the cheapest supermarket as per that time. So that the customer can choose the correct supermarket to shop from or order on their website allowing them to save money on the final amount rather than product basis. We will create a similar website for users to create an online order (no shopping cart) just an order as one of the websites already do. What is different? The website will run a script in the backend and provide 2 final amounts to the customer (1st cheapest/2nd chepaest). The customer will also be allowed to save their grocery orders into our customer table (hence SQL DB).They will also be allowed to print their orders and export to excel from website. Everything will be done in similar fashion as the above websites do but just without a shopping cart system as we are not selling products. We are just providing the customer with ability to go for cheapest option available at that instance in time. What kind of database design do you have in mind (4 dbs or 1 db and 4 tables) and why? Hope you are with me so far with the explanation. Will running the script to populate the latest prices every hour slow down the frontend for the customer(website)? ALso please explain the kind of support you will provide in installation and running of the product for 3-4 days for the first time. Thank you. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Tuesday May 13, 2008 5:52:10 PM: Hello Everyone, Thank you for bidding for the project. I have decided to include the work to build the website as well for this project. Please submit your bids including the cost for website design. Also, i would like the website design to be similar to one of the websites mentioned in the description. Lastly, I would like the website to be dynamic in nature (no static pages) therefore use ajax/web2.0 etc. Thanks
