Looking for development on two web crawlers.
The first needs to be able to parse Javascript. Additional requirements, but javascript parsing is the most important.
The second crawler needs to be tied to curl, so that crawling and scraping take place based on user credentials. For this crawler there are multiple sites that use various formats for displaying information.
Would like to move forward with both in Python, though for someone with a background developing advanced crawlers Perl or any language which can run off of a Linux server would work.
Start date is flexible, so if you have a background which matches, but are currently involved in a larger project, I'm willing to extend the start date. Work can also be as little as 10 hours/week.
