Description
Experience Level: Expert
General information for the business: I am an economist at the University of Manchester and I am doing research involving basketball players
Description of requirements/functionality: I am looking to obtain data from the website http://www.basketball-reference.com/ on basketball players
If you go to the page http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/ you will see a list of players. If you click on one of them you will see all the information for that player; qualitative information at the top (name age, birthdate, college etc) and then all the statistical data available for that player. The statistical data are available as CSV files.
I need a script that will essentially click on every player in the database, scrape the qualitative data from the top of the page into a CVS file and also download and save each CSV file on the player page.
I could either run the script on my computer or you could run it and deliver the CSV files. If I am going to run the script myself, it must come with instructions for someone who know nothing about programming!
OS requirements: Mac OS
