Please see the files provided in the following link ([login to view URL]). Basically, I am trying to pull various data on each of about 16,000 individual Major League Baseball (MLB) players from a website. I don’t really care what specific program you use as long as I get the code for an open source software in the specified manner and also sample data (e.g., data on about 10 randomly chosen players). In your proposal, please let me know what you think on the following issues: 1. Estimated time of completion 2. Program you will use (e.g., e.g., Python, Selenium, php, R) 3. Your fixed price quote

Hello Sir, 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, scrapy, urllib and other tools to fetch webpages and parsers like HtmlXPathSelector, regular expressions etc to extract information from the html. For this project, we will use Python Scrapy. It is open source. Time - 3 days Cost - $200 + Commision ($22) = $222 Thanks, Shiv Agrawal SuiGen Solutions
