This is the second post for this project.... The first one was ok, however i found out that there are different entries for different dates/cities.... here are two comparable tables from 2 different city/dates. [login to view URL] [login to view URL] As you can see, there are added rows of data in the first table.... What I'm looking for is a script to scrape the data from only the specific rows of: Mean,Max,Min Temps, dewpoint, avg/max/min humidity, precipitation, sea lvl pressure, wind speed, max wind, max gust, visibility, and [login to view URL] well as the Astronomy data at the bottom of the page. Seems some tables throughout have added/subtracted rows of data, however the data listed should be on each page. So some minor coding to extract the specific data is necessary. I have selected this as micro project even though the value is more than $30. However the value is far from $250, and if I post this with a budget of $30-$250 all Bids are WAY to high! So to keep bidding down to earth, I have listed as such. Bid Accordingly. PLEASE NOTE! I do not Award projects to automated bidders! Only to bidders who read the description, and communicate!

Just to be clear, you want to extract the data from the top table (where the data is aggregated by day/week/month), right? That and the astronomy data that's on the sidebar, did I understand correctly? A couple of additional questions - only the scrapper is contemplated on the project's scope, you don't expect for the script to crawl the website to find the pages from which the data should be retrieved right? In this case, how do you expect to feed the scrapper the information about what links it should retrieve and parse the data from (would pass the link as an argument for the task suffice)? Finally where do you want to store the data retrieved? Can I assume that you want to store it on a RDBMS (MySQL/MSSQL/...) for which you already have a schema created? Sorry for the questions, but for this kind of budget there's not a whole lot of margin, I need to get this right on the first time. If I understood everything correctly this is a very simple task, 1 day should be more than enough to do this in a way that the number of rows are irrelevant for the data extraction. By looking at the 1st column's value (the title) you can easily determine what the values on that particular row will refer to. Thanks for your time!

Hi, my name is Justin, and I am a software developer. First of all, nice website. I've done several php with sql projects, and I am fluent in both php and sql language. Some clarification, I do not understand this sentence "As you can see, there are added rows of data in the first table.... "; I couldn't spot the difference. My take is you needed a developer to code php for your website, to delete certain rows or data from your tables within a certain given criteria, such as mean, max, min temps, etc. I will be happy to do that. If you could kindly clarify the work to be done, I could adjust down my bid when I could give a better estimation of the scope of work. However this is optional, and we can still proceed this way if you prefer. Thank you, and have a good day.
