I require a copy of the WoW item database as is available through the Blizzard community API ([login to view URL]:id) Note that items are sequential. I need all entries starting at 0, and going to the maximal value (Please find said max value and cite your source). I need you to repeatedly hit that end point with increasing ids, and on a 200 response save the result as a json document named after the id, otherwise log the error code. I need both the json documents, as well as a full list of ids to http response codes table. Catch: This is a public API with a limit of 3000 requests per day. It contains at least 150,000 items. Possibly more. Please state your time estimate in your reponse.

Hi, I use proxy rotation so api limits is not a problem. I can do this very fast, because I send many requests each second, and I use parallel requests. I use ruby language. Please message me if you want I to start working on you project. Thanks.

Hello. I can help you with this. The problem can be parallelized: one machine could get all ids, provided they are all sequential (no empty data on numbers from 0 to 150,000) in 50 days. Add another machine and you cut that time in half. And so on. I can deploy a scraper script on several machines to get this waiting down. I cannot assure how many machines I could get working, but I believe, if you're not in a rush, that ten days would suffice, more or less, to build the script and scrap all the items. Do you want the results saved on separate files or would you prefer we save all data in a Mongo database? Finally, if you're in a hurry, we can just buy more hosting to deploy more scripts. (I'm guessing Blizzard will do only an IP check to apply their limits).

Hi, my name is Thomas, I'm a German web developer and I did read your description. Many freelancer use bots and bid on anything without the ability or the purpose to really do some of the tasks they bid on. I also speak and write fluent English, so miscommunication will be never an issue. I have checked out the API, seems possible even with the 3000 request threshold. Have one or 2 ideas to bypass that... However, you stated that its at least 150k results. The thing is, when should my script stop searching? 200k? Or if after 150k for, lets say 10k no positive response? This, I would need to know in advance. I would also need to know what exactly you need. I mean do you need the actual script which can be executed on your end, or do you need the results only? If you need a actual script, this will be difficult do archive because my request limit bypass methods does only work for me... I can show you some work samples which are related to web scraping. A Google Plus Auto Poster script, a customized Youtube API Playlist Player and a simple Links scrapper from any page for example... Please consider my bid and let me know if you would like to see one or all of those samples. I can also create a more customized sample for you related to this specific task if you like. You will not need to pay me any milestone in advance, but rather full payment when my job is done. Contact me anytime if you have any further questions. Kind regards, Thomas

Hi there! I've done quite a bit of screen scraping and caching in my past so I was interested in checking this out. Caching the result would be the best way to avoid the daily limits. I can host this JSON service for you at a monthly cost of $15/month (not included in the bid) and we can continue until you no longer require the service anymore. Let me know! Cheers, Tyler Findlay
