Paid on delivery
We are a small business in North Florida, USA. We frequently monitor auctions of surplus government materials. We need a tool that will build a spreadsheet of current auction activity from a public website. For example, we would like to be able to easily add an identifier such as the lot number, and have the spreadsheet populate information current price, auction close date/time, and monitor that data live. The primary site is gsaauctions.gov. Here is an example of a single item. [login to view URL] We might bid on 30 items at once, and they are difficult to follow with loading and reloading pages., closing windows etc. Additionally the closing times will be extended each time a new high bid is placed, so the order of "first to close" changes constantly. I have never used a freelancer before, and have no idea what such a project might cost. I think it's a simple formula, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Hello. I checked the website with the auctions. I will write a program which will read an excel or a txt file with the auction ids you need to scrap. Eg 41QSCI20713010 in your example and It will write all info in the excel. The program will have an embeded timer, which means that eg every 30 seconds it will revisit the links and get updated info. It will also be able to automatically get all auctions from the site if you like and loop through them to get data. You will just have to open it and leave it running. O can have this ready within 1-2 days. Please message me to discuss this further. Regards, Marina Louki .net developer

Hi, I'm a Python Developer. I looked at the website and I believe I can create a script that would grab the relevant information from the website when run, and export it all into a spreadsheet. I'd need more clarification regarding how frequently you want the spreadsheet to be updated or whether you'd want a different spreadsheet for different durations. All in all, tracking an item and exporting the information to spreadsheet can be implemented by me. I'm giving an estimate budget which would mostly depend on any additional requirements that you have of the program. Please contact me if you're interested in working with me.

Hey there! This is Sourabh Gupta from New Delhi. I am an advanced Excel developer currently at the post of Forum Expert at www.excelforum.com. I checked the mentioned URL. The easiest way to scrape data on small scale is to use Excel VBA. Microsoft office has in built capabilities for data scraping. Anyways, you would use a spreadsheet or something to manage data, so why not use it also to scrape data. The scraper I will provide will be a normal excel file, no need to install any third party add-ins. Could you also share all the details of what all fields do you want to be scraped and how do you want the tool to work overall? I look forward to a positive and prompt response from your side :) Regards Sourabh
