Scraping script

I require a script written to scrape data from one website. The website is itself a price comparison website which scrapes data from other sites. The site is: www dot carparking dot info I want a script that will be run daily. I need the script created to cover the following cities: • Sydney • Melbourne • Brisbane The script will need to enter a series of addresses (these will not change week-to-week) which will be provided to you in a spreadsheet. There will probably be around 150 addresses. There will be occasional additions/subtractions from this list, so the script ought to be written with this flexibility in mind such that I would easily be able to update it. You will note if you go to site that the results are ordered by either ‘cheapest’ or ‘closest’. The script will then have to scrape the information from the results for the closest car parks. I want the same car parks’ information to be scraped each day. The main pieces of data that need to be scraped are: • All the prices – both the casual parking rates as well as the special rates • The opening hours Also, I want the rest of the data on the page to be collected, but as this will not change at all, it need only be collected initially. This data would include all the relevant fields such as: • Name • Address • Spaces available etc. I want all this data to be scraped and placed into Excel spreadsheets – one per city. Each spreadsheet is to have one tab per address entered. Each tab will then have the data of 1-4 car parks in it. So each day, essentially one additional line of data will be scraped into the sheet. I would like each of these car parks to have a unique identification number so it makes it easier for me to identify them (other than by address/name). I will provide a general template that I would like to try and use, but you may need to make modifications if it is impractical or you have a better idea. Finally, you would need to provide me with a simple explanation as to how I could ensure that this script is actually run each day and how to make simple additions/subtractions (e.g. adding a new address). You must therefore be able to explain technical concepts to a non-technical person (myself) in English.
