Data Scraping from Machinerytrader.com

Posted By admin

Project Title: Data Scraping from Machinerytrader.com

Project Description:
Need a fixed rate quote for the following project:

1) Visit https://www.machinerytrader.com/listings/search

2) Apply the following filters from left side menu: Condition = Used, Country = USA

Note:

Ideally we would have the month that the machine was listed, but the only way I can see that this would be possible is to apply a third filter: Search results by date = [checkmark, yes] show listings added in the last [30] days.

And then once complete saying [60] days. And then once complete saying [90] days.

And so on, each time removing the duplicate listings from previous searches so you have a general month posted range for each batch.

Seems to be too difficult, unless you can find another source for that data point – let me know.

3) Click through into listing details for each result, Scrape all of the data available for the listing, but at least: Listing name, Category, Price, Seller Company, Seller Location, Seller Phone, Seller Contact Name, Machine Location — and then all the sub-fields for that page (I believe it may vary some depending on listing, but it should always scrape the field title and the value ex. [All General fields, all Capacities fields, all Category Specific fields, all Interior fields, All Powertrain fields, all Engine fields, and URL of the that listing details page.]

Note: please give feedback on the best way to standardize this information so that it all works within one spreadsheet. What would you recommend?
