Scrape example sentences from online dictionary

I'm looking for a web scraper for a one-off project to extract all example sentences and phrases from a free online bilingual dictionary, for personal use in a language-learning flashcard app. I'm looking for all the example phrases/sentences from www.[***].com/language1-language2 and a separate collection of all sentences from www.[***].com/language2-language1, as these two databases aren't exact mirror-images of each other. There would be two different databases, one from language 1 to language 2, and another going from language 2 to language 1. I require every single example sentence from the entire dictionary, so I’d estimate it to amount to 500,000-1,500,000 sentences. The only pieces of information I require are the phrase, its translation, and the headword (dictionary entry) to which it belongs. I've included an example .xls file to show what I want. I need the original phrases in the first column, the translations in the second column, and the headword in in the final column. Note that the contextual information (the words in rounded brackets) falls into the translation column. The output file could be in 2 excel files, or if the files end up too big, in text files (UTF-8 encoded) with each column separated by a tab. I’m less concerned about the time that the project takes, and more about the accuracy, completeness, and cost.

Hello, I know that my bid is this big comparing with the budget but because of the huge number of requests I'm 100% sure they'll ban us pretty fast and doing it even with proxies will need a good amount of premium (private) proxies (which are not as cheap as you may think). Regards Sorin

We've done a number of web scraping projects for our clients. We have scraped many directory websites including yellowpages, yelp and e-commerce websites including amazon, walmart etc and many more. We can deliver the data very quickly. We use proxies with IP rotation to avoid being detected as bots. We use python with wget, phantomjs, casperjs, slimerjs, scrapy, urllib and other tools to fetch webpages and parsers like HtmlXPathSelector, regular expressions etc to extract information from the html. We have the right skill set to do this job effectively and within time and would like to discuss more about this opportunity. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks, Rajdeep Agrawal

Hi there, I am intersted in the project. I am a experienced web scraper. I think the tricky part of the project is the huge data to scrape, not the scraping itself. I am planning to use cloud computing resources to do the scraping at backend. I think we can try to use single node for keeping the budget low. Once you want it very urgently, we can try to add additional servers to cope with that. I can do a free proof of concept job before you can make final decisions. Since I am new here, I bid for a low price but that did not mean I am not capable of doing that. Looking forward to talking to you for more details.
