Top level use case:

Web based project. User Logs into Gmail using AuthSub or OAuth

Content gets scraped from Gmail Inbox Feed: [url removed, login to view]

The actual email content is scraped from the tag.

Based on a pre-defined pattern certain content is scraped from each email and displayed to the end user.

Similar process used by tripit[dot]com. – users login using Gmail details. Their historical email analyzed to scrape all travel journey confirmation emails. All journey details displayed in the user interface.

To win this project:

• You need to have an understanding of tripit[dot].com process (free registration)

• Have some example work using Google API

• Ideally have experience in content scraping

• Also please indicate your preferred coding language

• Most importantly I would appreciate if you are able to suggest a better approach than using Gmail inbox feed to scrape certain content out of emails

Please note: this is a proof of concept project. I am investigating the best approach before committing to the final solution. Detailed brief provided to successful bidder. Once successful proof of concept is completed (use case above) this will lead onto the full project. The following is out of scope for this project:

• Layout design

• Storing results in the database

• Admin interface

• Etc.
