SEEKING FREELANCER - I'm in the US -- Anytime is good - Remote is okay as long as we communicate
Got a project for scraping. I'm testing casperjs/selenium. However, we/I are curious as to whether a faster process can be implemented by using the browser (chrome/firefox) directly.
Here's the thought process:
-we have a file with complete urls. (these urls could be inserted into the browser manually, and the resulting content generated)
-we have an extension that runs within the browser. the extension can be "triggered/fired", to read the urls from the external file, and to extract the resulting content (dynamic or static) and to write the content to an external file.
-ideally, the whole process would be able to access/use multiple tabs within the browser space to iterate through the list as fast as possible.
This is obviously a short term project. We're looking to talk to someone asap to see if this is even doable, and to then scope out the process.
This is (hopefully) the 1st of a number of projects we/I have a need for!
If you're interested, send me your contact data to usc_dog@yahoo.com
thanks
