Dell Outlet Tool

Tool needs to poll the Dell Outlet website ([link][1]) as fast as possible, compare systems to a set of criteria, and add to cart if match is found. The page I need to parse is served up as a normal web page (see the source of [this page][1]) A search for systems is started by narrowing down the specification using the drop-down menus, and using the table heading links to sort the results (I would be only interested in sorting by increasing price, lowest prices first). Once the query has been submitted, the website displays the available systems as that point in time. This inventory is updated constantly, and a script is needed to grab the lowest cost systems (of any particular type) before they are bought by other shoppers. I am currently using a Proxomitron filter to parse the HTML, compare against a rule, and automatically add to cart, but it doesn't work fast enough, since I can only poll the Dell site about every 4 seconds before getting a "Too Many Requests" message. Creating a separate session seems to get around this. If it's helpful, I can provide the current Proxomitron filters (the syntax is pretty self-explanatory). Please let me know if you have any additional questions! ## Deliverables Rent A Coder requirements notice: As originally posted, this bid request does not have complete details.
