Hi i have asked so many times this question but no one gave me right and good answer,


I need to know how these website search thousands of deal from different compnaies for user on their own website ..

Example.

www.lastminute.com (http://www.lastminute.com)

www.kelkoo.co.uk (http://www.kelkoo.co.uk)


etc

Shouldn't this belong in the programming section and not e-commerce?

Anyway - check out ASPTear. That is what we have used in the past

They are probably not screen scraping. They probably have access to the other site's data sources, perhaps via a web service.

The first one is using some kind of a system, an API.

The second one is connected to Yahoo shopping's API.

It is possible to screen scrape them, would be hard and take time, but prices change daily on those sites?

Peace,

We can discuss it off-line, send us e-mail and/or PM.
