///////// CONTEXT ///////// I am doing some scraping using Octoparse. There is a website that has a "search by image" feature but, unfortunately, it does not allow one to search by image from a URL and, instead, requires one to upload the images from one's own computer. Octoparse does not provide this functionality and is only able to submit text searches.
///////// WHAT I NEED ///////// I need to automate these searches so that I can obtain the URL of the search results page and then scrape it for information. I need a program that I can run both on my own computer or on a server, which then uploads the images to the target website on my command (or as scheduled), subsequently storing the URL of the results page.
///////// NOTES ///////// The full source code must be provided, which must be intelligible and fully commented. The website is AliSeeks. ***IMPORTANT *** This should be a pretty simple job so the budget is a placeholder only, please give me your actual quote.
///////// QUESTIONS FOR YOU ///////// 1) What programming languages and technical tools will you be using?
*** IMPORTANT*** 2) What will your approach be? Please describe it in as much detail as you can. Bonus points if you mention alternative approaches and why yours is better. THIS WILL BE USED BY ME TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE AS I HAVE LIMITED TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND NEED TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION SO PUT AS MUCH EFFORT INTO IT AS POSSIBLE.
3) Will I be able to run the program on both my computer and a server?
4) Will the solution be compatible with any other (or most other) websites that have a similar "search by image" functionality?
5) How many hours will this take you? If you exaggerate here I will not even bother replying to you.
Thank you very much and I look forward to reading your proposals.
