I need a smart .NET screen scraper program in VB.NET (either windows or web) that will screenscrape other sites (mainly newspaper sites) gathering information.
Here are the details:
I provide it URLs from my database such as [login to view URL]
or
[login to view URL]
I need it to go a gather each section and at minimum put the data in a dataset so I can insert it into my SQL Server.
I need it flexable so it can change the URL incrementally, so in the url was /2003/October/19/biz/ I could set variables to change to URL automatically.
Also need to be able to tell it a specific tag to start and end with, along with start and end sections of the page.
Let me know if you are interested or already have something made similar. I'll explain what I am trying to do if you place a bid.
Need relatively quickly, including source.
Thanks,
