I require a utility that can be executed easily to scrape specific details off of a particular website ([login to view URL]) and store them in a database (mySQL or access would work) or spreadsheet. ? For all journalism projects currently posted on the web site, I need to pull down, daily, the funding threshold of each project (how much money do they need), how much funding each project has received from the community as of that point in time, which users have funded the project, how many individuals have contributed funding to the project,? the project description length, the number of comments that have been made on the project, the location of the project, the number of projects that were available for funding as of that point in time, the project proposer's profile information (whether they have a photo, the length of their bio/background, their number of blog posts, number of assignments, how long they have been a member, etc.), number of past projects that the funder has completed, etc.
## Deliverables
The more generic the software the better. ? If I can reuse this tool to input any URL and specify which screen details I would like it to capture, and then just hit go, that would be perfect. ? However, I realize that this may be somewhat difficult, as every webpage will be formatted differently and created using different platforms.
