    Data scraping services
    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone recommend a reliable data scraper from a freelancing site or is anyone willing to offer their services to build an app that scrapes match statistics from footywire.com?

    Here is an example URL

    What app do you envision? If you want this to be reliable you should run it on a server and the data should be stored to a database. Is this the way you want to do it?

      The way Id like to do it is for the app to scrape statistics for each match played to a CSV file

        Yeah and where would this app run? On your computer?

          They've intentionally made that site a pain in the ass to scrape. Css selectors aren't going to work.
