C# Application for News Website Scraping
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm in need of a C# application that can scrape content from a list of approximately 100 news websites. The application should extract data daily and include fields such as headline, images, content, date, location, author, category, etc. Examples of sites to scrape include cnn.com, nytimes.com, usatoday.com, and nbcsports.com.
Specific Requirements:
- The code should allow me to provide the structure of a website and it should be able to extract content accordingly.
- The application should support structured data input in JSON format.
- Error handling should be basic, logging errors but not necessarily attempting to retry failed scrapes.
- I do not require the application to store the extracted data. It should simply output the data.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficient in C# programming language.
- Experience with web scraping and building scraping applications.
- Familiarity with JSON and handling structured data.
- Basic understanding of error logging and handling in software applications.
