£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
I'd like a script which can run will download all the tables from the London Stock Exchange website: [login to view URL] as well as a pricing and volume fields from another tab of the table, for every company on the London Stock Exchange. The LSE provide a list of companies in which you can loop through, i have added the 2 documents. The output of the file should be in Excel, with data available for every company on a single sheet, 1 row per company. I have had this job mostly completed, however there are issues where its being timed out from LSE website. To get around these timeout issues, another developer introduced a delay however for some reason if the query times out that particular company is skipped and the program continues instead of retrying so the output has incomplete data. That is the current status of the program. I happy for you to start fresh if you'd prefer. Complications with source data: 1. The columns are headed with varying titles, eg March 2017, May 2017, June 2016. The most efficient way I have to deal with this, is the to list the data under "Year 0", "Year 1", "Year 2", "Year 3", "Year 4". This enables me to see all the data for the company's most current year in the same column. This has already been done in my current script. 2. Some companies list the data in different currencies. This has not been considered in the current code. I'd like the currency to be identified in the output so I can convert to GBP if necessary. Happy to elaborate on more details.

Hi, I think there are some issues with some company codes. I had a look and i already found some errors (not sure why, but i can explain what the errors are). What i would do first is to run a validation script across your XLS file and validate/generate correct codes for each company. I can do that for free... so i can prove that i can do the job. Only after that we can have the correct codes and run the scraping process. If you want i can even create a full working demo - but i need more input from you : what fields to scrape etc. I do not work cheap, but i will get the job done. Regards, Mike Later Edit... .SAMPLE DATA: The rows starting with OK seem to have a valid company code in your instruments XLS file. OK: OPM | GB00BCDBXK43GBGBXASX1 OK: SPA | GB00B09LQS34GBGBXASX1 OK: C21 | GB0008866310GBGBXASX1 OK: III | GB00B1YW4409GBGBXSET1 =========================== ERROR 404: 3IN | JE00BYR8GK67JEGBXSTMM Company: 3IN NEW CODE: JE00BF5FX167JEGBXSTMM =========================== OK: DDDD | GB00BJL5BR07GBGBXAMSM OK: FOUR | GB0006640972GBGBXSSMM OK: SIXH | GB0008121641GBGBXASQ1 OK: 7DIG | GB00BMH46555GBGBXASX1 =========================== ERROR 404: 888 | GI000A0F6407GIGBXSTMM Company: 888 NEW CODE: GI000A0F6407GBGBXSTMM =========================== =========================== ERROR 404: 88E | AU00000088E2AUGBXASQ1 Company: 88E NEW CODE: AU00000088E2GBGBXASQ1 ===========================
