email address website spider

Hello,

I seek a program that can retrieve/extract any and all user accounts and email addresses from one or multiple URLs like [url removed, login to view] and all subsequent website pages, crawled automatically by your software.

I have no idea what is involved in such a task or if its possible. The first website that will be targeted runs the following types of pages, however if the sites actual database type/format is required, thats isnt known at this time:

Description pages are of .SHTML extensions

Creation pages are of .HTML extensions

Login page is of .CGI extensions

Board pages are of .CGI extensions

I am personally a member of this website, therefore, of the 8 total accounts I have, I would expect all my own accounts to be extracted as well and listed in the records obtained by the software. I know that some email addresses are listed on the Board pages in many instances too, which of course are via HTTPS secure pages.

I will provide the winning bidder 4 of my 8 site user account names, subsequently, your program MUST obtain/extract these 4 accounts with their associated AND correct user account email addresses that I know and use. This will be a test for your software to ensure its extracting valid contents for the site in question.

The data extracted, at this time, will be ONLY user account names AND email addresses ??" again, if at all possible. Just these 2 pieces of information are required to start.

If you can extract more data, we can work out specifics/costs at a later time on that….for now, my only interest is obtaining website user names and respective email addresses.

This software must be able to avoid any type of extraction prevention or robot/bot prevention scripts websites may have too, again, if at all possible of course.

Questions, comments or concerns, please ask.

See deliverables for more specific program details!

Best wishes,

iukini

## Deliverables

1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable format.

2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):

a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.

b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.

3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer DOES NOT require exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased at this time.

3a) However, buyer would like opportunity in the future AFTER this project to buy "exclusive rights". (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

4) First, before a final deliverable is made, I must see, use and test a compiled-binary demo version of your program before moving forward to the final product delivery.

4a) Such a demo version of you program can be restricted to NO LESS than extraction of 100 complete records of website User Names and associated email addresses to them. 2 data types are to be extracted. The first targeted website consists of thousands of members, so 100 records is guaranteed to be extractable.

5) Final product delivery at this time will be required in a fully executable, complete with any and all internal and external files required to operate, in a full compiled version of your program.

5a) Such final deliverable MUST NOT be limited/restricted in any manner whatsoever at all and it must be fully and completely functional. Further, it must not include any malware coding either ??" that wont be tolerated or accepted.

6) To reiterate from the projects description, as a FINAL test, your software MUST obtain at least 4 of my 8 accounts of information extracted by the software to be considered an acceptable deliverable, the usernames (which 4 will be disclosed) and THEIR email addresses, which I will NOT disclose, but your software must extract them to be considered a full and complete, acceptable deliverable.

These accounts exist now, have existed for several months, I have used them regularly, some have ratings too. Therefore, to ensure your software works and is extracting accurate, valid website data, my OWN, SPECIFIC RECORDS MUST SHOW in your softwares extraction records BEFORE it will be accepted as complete and BEFORE payments will be released for work as done/complete.

This will ensure your program works as requested and prove its working as described to me by obtaining my own account information, this proves it works as requested!

7) I run a software business that takes software and customizes it for buyers, therefore, I would like an open ended project here in that I “MAY?? be interested in:

a. selling this software thru my business with your programming help for profits of course to you;

b. buy the source code and EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS, depending on programming language used, at a later time

8) Finally, the software MUST BE ABLE TO export records, individually, by fields, by groups or by all records to .CSV, .TXT, .DBF and .XLS formats for data manipulation purposes.

However, do note, this is open to negotiations if you arent able to make the software export in ALL formats above, I would be flexible to allow 2 or 3 of the formats if necessary.

## Platform

Desire ALL Windows OS Platforms, but am negotiable if agreed to in advance, specific Windows OSs may be acceptalbe. Would like the software to run on Win 9x, ME, 2000 and XP at least.

Preference is VB6 programming language, but again, this is negotiable if another language would better suit the objectives listed in the projects description/deliverables above.
