A web application working via twiillio. I want the system to go on this page: [login to view URL] Go in each link, detect a phone number. (how to detect a phone number? if it starts with 305 or 786) and send that number an automatic text message. The phone numbers are always situated in different places in the page. Also sometimes its written like this 305-345-6342 and sometimes like this 3053456342 So no matter where its situated or where, we need the system to pick it up. I also want the system to have a database of all makes. So when it goes in a link, and sees in the description the word “toyota” and then detects the phone number. I want the text message to say something like: I’m interested in your toyota you have for sale, please give me a call at xxx xxx xxxx.

Hello Sir/Ma'am, yes indeed I read descriptions however, I have 1 chance to make a first impression. I want to ensure you that I have the skill-set needed to complete your project. Once you message me, I will send more past work examples your way and more detailed info. Please note: I do Not have a dozen projects in progress. The system works in such a way that even if the projects are very old & they we're paid a different way, possibly before the new milestone setup.. that is how it looks (as ongoing). I am ready to work. I look forward to talking to you further and getting started. I've been working in simple and extensive Website Coding (PHP, MYSQL, WORDPRESS, JOOMLA, JAVASCRIPT, CSS, HTML), Website Designing and Graphic Design for ***over 10 years now. After working as a ***top sales and marketing representative for Sears, I began to independently pursue my career. I have experience in do-it-yourself CMS, Logos with flare and flash design to name a few. I went to college for business and marketing so ***I know what it takes to sell. Get it done professionally and get it done right THE FIRST TIME! Some people like to know who they are working with on the personal side. If you are one of the types of people, please watch my short video at www.blissent.net. You'll see a big reason why I work! Thank you, Timothy

Hello, I have worked before with the twilio api and this not a complicated project. The detection of the number and especially formulation of the text message is the harder part. I see 2 options, either a list of auto makes as a filter, or using the title of the ad as basis. Ideally I would schedule the retrieving of each individual ad at random intervals to avoid triggering craigslist filters. As far as I know, they aren't welcoming at all towards automated scripts parsing their site. Looking forward to your response, Viorel

Hi, I have scraped millions of records from hundreds of websites, including craigslist. I'm also familiar with REST API calls and in particular the Twillio API. I therefore have the skills an experience to handle your project. I can develop an application that will scrape craigslist on a regular basis extract the year make and model of the car, as well as the phone number and generate an SMS message to be sent via Twillio. I have a few questions fro you though: Where do you want the program to run? On a single computer at your office? Which operating system are you using? Or would you prefer the program to run off a server? How often do you want to scrape the data? Do you want the SMS to be generated right away or do you want some kind of validation that the post is not a duplicate (pretty common in craigslist, people republish to get back at the top of the list.) Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I'm also US based and in your time zone which could definitely make communication easier. I look forward to hearing from you and start working on your project. Regards. Xav.

Hello! I wrote similar software so I'm sure I can help you with this too but please give me a few more details: 1. Do you want this to be something that you can run from a server (like a PHP script) or a Windows desktop program? 2. Do you want it to run automatically every so often?
