Hello, I am looking for someone experienced with web extraction tasks. The purpose of the project is to extract data from [login to view URL] and store these in .html format in dedicated area (directory). Please check their webpage (sport statistic) and find the attached screenshots for desription of what should be done.
At this stage I am only interested in getting data for NBA competition. The program/application should be run with four parameters:
- competition (always NBA)
- season (e.g. 09-10 in the attached example)
- month (e.g. February)
- date (e.g. 4)
For these input parameters the app should (steps map to attached images):
step 1: go to main NBA page
step 2: "click" on scoreboard
step 3: display the correct page via setting the date based on season/month/date parameters; and SAVE this page as .html
For each match on the page repeat these steps:
step 4: "click" on Line Moves; and SAVE this page as .html
step 5: "click" on Consensus: and SAVE this page as .html
step 6: "click" on Expert Picks: and SAVE this page as .html
The more efficient the method/technology is used the better (I am not interested in any images, advertisments, etc.) so if there is any option how to reduce the traffic and time of the download please consider it. Thank you.
Note below: any parsing is assumed out of scope of the project the result are really "only" stored .html files (a lot of files actually.. :)) in dedicated directory.
