A simple script that will read a url and get some numeric data from the page and store this to a database.
There will be multiple url's/systems that data should be read from so each page that the numeric data should be read from should be configurable.
Login is usually needed.
vb.net and mysql is prefered
## Deliverables
The system will access reports in other web based systems, get the total number from report page and store it in db. There will be multiple url's/systems that data should be read from so it should be configurable how to read data off each page. It can also be necessary to select values to create report (sometimes but not always can this be set in url) Login is usually needed. Config settings: - name - reporturl (this is the page that numeric value should be read from) - loginurl (if specific login page is needed) - username + password - how/where to get total number from report page - how/where to set report period Settings should be stored to db. Settings should be updated from a web/aspx page. The scraping script should be a vb.net console app. This is where your scraping expertise comes in: - how/where to get total number from report page - how/where to set report period More info available once job is started.
