Hello to All, We're brand new on this list.
We're looking for a "web pages monitoring agent" that could be able to do what's described hereunder. We have searched all over the Web, but we haven't found anything that could do it. Mind-it from netmind is pretty close, BullsEye Pro as well, Copernic can not do it... plus at least 10 others we tested... At the moment, we're still searching because we haven't found what we're looking for... Thus : Heeeeeeeeeelp :-))) A BIG Thank you in advance to all of you who will take a few of their time trying to help us ! Nice day to all, Philippe BRUNO. ========================= Here's the problem : My girlfriend works in a real-estate company. She's having a list of about 100 real-estate related web sites that are of interest to her : All of those web sites are having "classifieds" in them (or classified ads, I don't know what's the exact word... sorry for my bad english...), and she uses those classifieds to contact peoples in order to buy or sell their house. At the moment, she goes to those sites when she has free time to spend, looking if they are having new ads. Problem is that she doesn't have enough time to do a good job, and she would like this to be automatic. She would like to get a software that could walk by itself troughout all those 100+ sites, and that would get all the classifieds that are in each and all of those sites. So, what we're looking for is a software that would go to a list of websites that we input in his "engine", and scrutinize those web sites in order to get the new "classifieds". What we want is to INPUT the web sites' adresses (URL's) by ourselves into the "search engine of the intelligent agent". Then, the Agent goes to the web sites we mentioned and he gets all the real-estate classifieds ads that are into the web site, then he goes to another one, etc... Then, the Agent "comes back", either as a .zip file or whatever, and brings back all the pages that have changed since last visit, including the ads that are on those pages of course... BETTER, that "web monitoring agent" could send, by email, the pages that have changed since last visit. Do you know if such a kind of software exists...? Do you know where we could find it...? Here's an example of "URL's" that we have, and that we could input in the engine : 1.- An easy one : http://www.rambier.com/immobilier/location.html ALL the ads are on that static page. That should be easy for the "Agent" to read it, to compare it with the "old" one, and to do what he has to do : nothing - if pages are similar , or throw the old one and send or bring back the new one, if pages are different. 2.- Another easy one : http://www.notaires-transacts30.com/prix/french_prix_600000_1000000_bas.htm Same as above, except that for this site (notaires-transacts30.com) there will be more than one page (600.000 to 1.000.000 , then 1.000.000 to 1.500.000 , etc...). Nothing complicated here anyway, as pages are still "static" as well. 3.- More complicated : http://www.franceimmobilier.com/search/type=recherche_ventes/?pass= At the end, after the " = " sign, there's a figure that is related to an ad and that can be 2450 , 2712 , 8007, etc... , etc... For this type of page, I really don't know what's the solution... 4. - One of the most complicated : (there are many like this one... :-(( ) http://www.cyberannonces.com/cgi-bin/immobilier/.......5Rk033077663631598953339965&reference=109907&liste=19 All the numbers, and especiall 109907 et 19, being variables and resulting of many "clicks" and results of dynamic requests. Question : ---- Is there something in CyberSpace that would be able to handle that matter at 100 % ???? THANK YOU very much in advance for the help...!!! (This is a rather important matter...) Thanks in advance for your answer and your help, Have a nice day, Philippe BRUNO. -- \\|// (. .) |------------------------------oOO-(_)-OOo-----------------------------| | | | Hardware Technology Belgium + Computer parts Import/Export | | Phone : ++ 32 - (0)87.46.25.08 + Fax : ++ 32 - (0)87.46.24.98 | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(_)~~~(_)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
