merkont Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hey, I'm not sure what is official name of this kind of site which gathers data from another websites and displays data on one site -- probably with search functionalities and nice interface. If I'm not wrong it is called mashup -- but anyways. I wan't to gather ads from 8 sites and put them on my site. I think I need crawl those sites I'm interested in, parse gathered data and display it. But I'm not sure at all about anything and I really want to do everything by myself from zero but need some guideline how to proceed with project.

jcbones Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 First you would need to read the Terms of Service of the websites, and make sure they allow the use of their data. Then you need to find out if they have an available API that you could use. If they don't, then you proceed to crawl the page and scrape the data. You will find that most all websites that allow data use, will have an API though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
