Urgent PHP Gold Price Scraper
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a quick-turnaround PHP script that pulls the live gold price from three different publicly accessible websites (no authentication required). The current feed I rely on has gone down, so this will act as an immediate rescue solution.
Key requirements
• Parse each site’s HTML/JavaScript to extract the latest price.
• Merge the three readings into one final value (average or last-in wins—whichever is fastest to implement).
• Refresh the value every 30 seconds and write it to a variable or simple cache file I can echo anywhere on my site.
• Code must be plain PHP (I edit in Notepad++), well-commented, and ready to drop into an existing page.
Timing is critical: I need the working script delivered within 30 minutes of awarding the project. If you’ve scraped live prices before and can jump on a screenshare immediately, let’s move.
