Hello, I would like to be able to scrape information from a website (racing[dot]betting[hyphen]directory[dot]com/ 1. The start page is "/naps/[login to view URL]". I need to take the: -The nap/horse name (e.g. Viconte Du Noyer) -Tipster name (e.g. Farringdon) -Result (e.g. 2/5) -Odds (13/8) 2. Next, the spider needs to follow the hyperlink contained in each of the nap's/horse's names: e.g. "/horses/[login to view URL]". For each of these pages, I need to take: -Owner (e.g. Ann & Alan Potts) 3. Going back to the "/naps/[login to view URL]" page, I need the spider to follow "Results". This will deliver a page like this: "/haydock-results/12th-may-2018/[login to view URL]". (Please note that "haddock" is the name of the race track). From there, I need to take for the original horse (in this case Viconte du Noyer): -Jockey Name (e.g. R M Power) -Trainer Name (e.g. C Tizzard) 4. Finally, back on the /naps/[login to view URL], I would like this scraper to go back through the calendar and retrieve all the information for each day, back to 12th of May 2016

Hello! I would like to tell you that I have read your description carefully and can tell you that I have worked on previous projects before. Using the Python, I can data scrape the website and get all the information you need, and properly create and format a Microsoft Excel worksheet that can collate all of these information. I may be a beginner in Freelancer but I have created web scrapers for multiple companies in the past, thus providing them added value by automating data collection, allowing the company's employees to work on more important things. With my experience, I think I may be able to accomplish what you are asking for in a week's time. Please do tell me what you think, and I am excited to work with you!

Hey there, How you doing? I'm an expert developer, and have quite a bit of experience in the relevant field. What i would like to know is, after scraping the data, do you want it to be saved in some format like excel? or csv? just displaying in a table format on the website would be enough ? lets talk in details. Thank you.

The first goal of my research is to explain the criteria for determining whether a nuclear waste repository is suitable. For example, will the rock structure be able to withstand human invasion in the future [Clark, 1997]? What will happen if the waste containers corrode and do not last as long as predicted? Will the natural setting contain the waste? To achieve this goal, I will rely on "Background on 40 CFR Part 197 Environmental Standards for Yucca Mountain" [Clark, 1997], the DOE Yucca Mountain home page [1997], and the book Understanding Radioactive Waste [Murray, 1989]. A second goal of my literature review is to evaluate Yucca Mountain meets those criteria. I will base my evaluation on the sources mentioned above as well as specific Environmental Protection Agency standards. I also intend to research the validity of possible environmental disasters, such as the explosion theory. To accomplish this goal, I will rely on the paper presented by Clark [1997], and on the book Blowup at Yucca Mountain [Taubes, 1995].
