    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
    http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/f...id=5963&advv=Y

    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.
