have already sent a proposal. Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Estimated project duration: less than 1 week
General information for the business: Data analysis group
Description of requirements/functionality: I'm looking for a programmer to create a script to pull data from the Zoopla website via API and scrape some simple info from a webpage.
Details are below.
Part 1: Zoopla API
What is needed: details of all properties for sale from a specific set of estate agents (perhaps via a http://api.zoopla.co.uk/api/v1/property_listings.xml?api_key=xxxxxxx&branch_id=BRANCH call)
Output format: file in csv format (delimiter can be any character) encoded in UTF-8.
How will it be used: run daily as a chron job
Details of the Zoopla API can be found here http://developer.zoopla.com/docs/read/Home.
Part 2: scraping summary information from Zoopla
What is needed: Number of properties, Avg. asking price and Avg. listing age of 1) properties for sale and 2) properties for rent per estate agent. This information is given in a table on the Zoopla website eg http://www.zoopla.co.uk/find-agents/?company_name=Foxtons&radius=0&search_source=find-agents. I need each of these details per branch and for all branches of an agent.
Output format: file in csv format (delimiter can be any character) encoded in UTF-8.
How will it be used: run daily as a chron job.
I'm looking for clean commented code (so I or someone else can follow it) ideally written in perl or shell script unless you make a good case for another implementation.
Delivery asap hopefully by the end of the week or next.
Please get in touch with any questions.
Specific technologies required: Shell script, perl or other
OS requirements: Linux
Extra notes: Will be run as a chron job on a linux machine (debian)

(PPH ate my comment so here we go again)
Do you have a Zoopla API key which isn't limited to the default 100 calls/hour?
Is there a bit of flexibility in the budget?

Hi,
Do you have an API key which isn't limited to the default 100 calls/hour (which would be a hurdle I guess)? Also, is there a bit of flexibility in the budget?
