Paid on delivery
I have list of 65000 ISBN numbers and for these i need a script that will gather additional information from some web sources ([login to view URL], [login to view URL], google books api or some other resources) All data will be stored in MySQL table structured (id, isbn, title, description, category name, cover_image_filename, last_updated_timestamp). In this table at the moment only id and isbn columns are filled with data. So the script should go through the table and check if last_updated_timestamp is mepty(null) or it is older then one year. if it is, then script should update title, description, category name and cover_image_filename (download image as [login to view URL]) and also update last_updated_timestamp with current time. In case script doesnt find info on source one (for example google books api, it should try second one etc.. until it finds the data. Cover images should be as big as possible (not just thumbnails) script can get info for lets say 10-50 ISBNs at a time. it then can be run (cronjob) every 2 mins or so.

Hi! Can program this software for you, not a problem at all since I did this some times for another categories of data scrapping.. You will only need those information about the book? Since you are scrapping there may be more information available to insert into your database, your choice. It can be done in PHP or in C++ (I prefer C++ in some cases), it will be as fast as possible and may have some multithread support, to say fetch 10 books at the same time to speed up information fetching. It will be installed on the server you provide or I can setup a VPS server for you just to do this job, and will delivery full source code with comments in case you need to change it in the future. Any doubts just chat, Thanks! - Vinicius
