Finish Program That Scrapes Websites & Build Website To Display The Data
$250-750 USD
Paid on delivery
I am posting this project because a freelancer on it and has completed 90% of it but has not been able to finish it. There are slight changes that need to be made to the system that was created and glitches that have to be solved. Below the line is the original project that I posted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(PREVIOUSLY POSTED DESCRIPTION ON FREELANCER.COM) Let me first say that this project may be too complicated to just explain with text, and therefore it would be GREAT to have a Skype conversation with you before you accept the challenge of this project. Now on to the program that I need to be built.
I am a ticket scalper and the program has to build a database and record when concerts sell out. I have a list of 20 websites of concert venues that the program will scrape daily to see if any of the shows for that venue had sold out.
For example, if you go to [login to view URL], the website of a concert venue, you can see on the front page very clearly displayed the upcoming shows and whether they have sold out or not (see picture attached). You can also see concerts that have been announced but will go onsale in the future (see picture attatched). Every day the program would update the existing database of concerts that are "sold out". By checking every day, and recording the changes in the status of the concert--"not on sale yet", "on sale" or "sold out"--the program would effectively be able to tell me how many days it took for a concert to sell out for a specific artist at a specific venue. Overtime, the program would develop an extensive database of this information.
Specific data the program would have to detect and record (daily) if a concert is NOT on sale yet (see picture attatche):
1. The name of the performer
2. The venue the event is taking place at (each website corresponds with a specific venue so this shouldn't be hard)
3. The capacity of the venue (I should be able to manually input this PER venue and the program would match it up)
4. Date that the event goes on sale
5. Price of the tickets
6. Date of the show
Specific data the program would have to detect and record (daily) if a concert IS already on sale (see picture):
1. The name of the performer
2. The venue the event is taking place at (each website corresponds with a specific venue so this shouldn't be hard)
3. The capacity of the venue (I should be able to manually input this PER venue and the program would match it up)
4. Price of the tickets
5. Date of the show
6. Is the concert sold out or not
After time, I hope to be able to log on to the program, search an artist, and find out history of the shows that the artist had. I should be able to find out where they played (out of the list of venues/websites I supply), if they sold the concert out, how quickly they sold the show out (if they did sell it out),and how many tickets they sold per day (found by taking the venue capacity divided by the days it took to sell out..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I said, the large majority of this project has been finished, I have a website that I can log onto and a database that records the data but it is not 100% accurate and some of the venues do not update weekly. There are also a few very simple features that need to be added. It has all been written in PHP and I can Skype you pictures of the current database as well as some of the code if you'd like.
Also, I would like a new website to be created where I can sell access to the database as a subscription service. The website that I have now is extremely plain. The website would allow users to pay for a subscription to log on and view the database, search for artists etc.
I know this is a lot to take in via text so if you'd like to Skype about it please send me a message. Thanks!
