You don't need to be familiar with QueryPath as long as you have some familiarity with the jQuery syntax and good knowledge of PHP. Specific information related to products is required to be scraped from each website, which should then be output as a file containing a JSON data set. More details on the JSON format can be found here: [login to view URL] A sample JSON file can be found here: [login to view URL] Our preferred workflow is to use Github.

For your proposal, please consider [login to view URL] to be representative of the complexity of website to be scraped.
