I want to keep track of some stocks and the updates on multiple messageboards here: [login to view URL]
I need a script that begins for example the page for HNSS here: [login to view URL]
Then gets the forum updates from the board here: [login to view URL]
By following the 'messageboard link', then scrapes the page to extract the most recent message, the message content and the time of posting.
Three deliverables required:
1. Requirement to enter one or more stock codes into a field for example "HNSS,DKSC,IMAI" and be shown an Ordered List of the most recent 25 messages, page scraped from each board, sorted by time.
These stocks "HNSS, DKSC, IMAI" must then be added using javascript to the "Stock List"
2. Requirement to update all messages in real time from the "Stock List" using AJAX at one minute intervals, messages would be inserted into the stream at the top, and push older messages down the page.
3. Requirement to remove stocks from the "Stock List" with a javascript close button
Here is my design for the interface here: [login to view URL]
This project involves page scraping in PHP to retreive the latest messages from boards like these [login to view URL]
And then some basic AJAX and javascript ability to get the simple interface built.
I'm not fussed if it is quick and dirty, I just need the latest messages from a list of stock symbols in whatever way you can do in PHP, and then some basic AJAX to refresh the list of messages.
Looking forward to getting this done, would be great if someone experienced in page scraping could help me out =)
Cheers,
