Data scrapping
extracting prices from a website


Data scrapping
There is a small iFrame showing prices in real-time. (i.e.:
FTSE 100 Daily) on the site Igindex.com. (http://www.igindex.co.uk/pricestream/outside/getMarketList?webSiteId=igi&bus
inessArea=F&locale=en_GB&firstTime=true&skin=igindex)
The prices must be scrapped and printed it to the console. That's it!
I can do it in perl!
- I can even send you an email,
- or populate your DATABASE records with scrapped prices
- or just create simple TXT file with requested data
I can do it in perl in UNIX or OSX or Windows * no way C#
- this data in its raw format, and will be interfaced with a larger application,
If you want to show the data in a table, that's fine. If you like, you can
send a dummy or fake table to the server, and once you get some kind of answer from
the server with the updated data each time, the project will be finished.
