Hi,

I need someone who can create a script to scrape index.baidu

Extract some data from Flash/Actionscript and create matching function with PHP

You will need to reverse engineer a flash widget that displays some data and provide the data via a simple, well documented PHP script.

We want the search volumen from index.baidu
This will require you to understand how to reverse engineer AMF to get to the data.

This project is a little bit tricky, as the AMF message is encoded.

Your script should be a simple, well documented PHP script that take a Chinese keyword as input and then return the average monthly search volume as number.


So basically we would need to download the SWF (or the link to the SWF)
- check if we have a known constant;
- if unknown disassemble SWF and get constant
- fetch the AMF message and extract search volume

If you think you can do that, please send me PM with your time and cost estimate.

Thanks,
Matthias
