Hi R’Hooders,
I need help/advice for an idea I am working on.
I want to create a catalog of all mobiles/tablets/laptops for my venture. It should have technical specs and images of the product.
I considered following options:
1. Manual data collection from manufacturer/other ecommerce websites
2. Checked www.icecat.biz. But it does not provide full catalogs.
3. Writing a java/php program to convert HTML pages containing tech spec into desired format
4. Any downloadable tool/extension to extract data from manufacturer/ecommerce portals
5. Last option: Buy these catalogs if available.
Can you please suggest if there is any better options than this?
Regards,
