I need someone to code me a stupid myspace image scraper

[eGod]

I need it hardcoded in to make sure they are female and over 18+ and it will need to grab girls default image as well as the image sets that they have. It does not need proxy support. If their profile is private / deleted / underage just skip them. I just need a way to set the range of pictures to grab and then let it rip.

Background: I just need this because I find random images all day and Im tired of having my browser bogged down when I go to some profile with 10 songs playing and 18 flash videos so I'll just scrape a couple thousand and a time and go through the pretty little folders it collects and delete the ones I do not want-- hell I might just scrape every picture on myspace over the next 10 years doesn't matter talk to me on SN: Snatch if you want to code this up tell me your price and how long it will take this doesn't have to be exclusive anyone can use it for all I care or you can make it personal private eGod edition whatever works.

I dont have a ton of time, but if nobody shows interest by tommorow I will throw it together for you.

[eGod]

moose is busy with some MMH's(mega money hacks / make money hoe) so if theres any other coder who is down let me know im sure everyone could use it so when its done it can be posted up in this forum

[eGod]

All it needs to do is login an individual account, browse to

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=[X-XXXXXX] and then grab the image urls off the page its at

Example: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=73675965

on the page parse out all the image links and change
http://b1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01497/15/33/1497203351_m.jpg

to

http://b1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01497/15/33/1497203351_l.jpg

(notice the _m was changed to _l so we dont have to dig further for the large image link)

and then download the images and save them in a folder correlating to the userID and then repeat the process with the next userID

the end

oh yeah and some images are like this

http://a962.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/58/m_89ebd59b730f23733116aa987bd79d99.jpg

to

http://a962.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/58/l_89ebd59b730f23733116aa987bd79d99.jpg

aka m_ to l_

it also needs to recognize if the chick in the picture is ugly and/or fat and automatically move it to the recycle bin

that made me lol

Well, I could POSSIBLY code it for you if you're really desperate. I am definitely not the best coder around though, and I would probably struggle since I haven't coded in a while either. I would recommend getting someone else, however, if you really need it then I could try it I guess. (rate would be pretty cheap obviously)

love the confidence def go with him!

Could take the face recognition software that the state department is using to identify terrorists at airports and wanted felons at sporting events and tweak it to parse out the fatties to the trashcan.

hahahaha

[Krazy]

celtik is good peeps he made a kick ass myspace login checker

[syph0s]

If anyone ends up getting this together, please let me know I could definitely use it.

[villain]

has anyone coded this? i can cook this up in a couple hrs with perl. holla @ me leave me a PM

[celtik]

doolbman:

It isn't that I'm not confident in myself. I just don't want to lead someone on to something. I tell it like it is. I am pretty decent, however, I'm not going to tell someone I am the best because I'm not lol

[Epotn]

if some one does this would they mind sending me the source, im just curious how you check the age, and how to go from one profile to the next?

Iterate through links to get more profiles, use regex for ages.

[TrichomeKid]

I say for all the people saying "I could do it IF no one else will".. If you know how, or have the slightest idea, do it. There could be other implementations you could use for something like this. You could probably even make a few bucks if you marketed it correctly

I wouldn't recommend it, MySpace doesn't take kindly to screenscraping on their profiles:

Both SingleStat.us and DatingAnyone.com were nuked because of MS C&D's.

[villain]

mechanize sucks for javascript

[eGod]

villian i sent you a PM a few days ago

[pulaskeet]

no one has made this yet? all you need is to make http requests to myspace and parse the html. when you get the image for the user, save it to binary and move on to the next. there are plenty examples of code to do this.

for anyone wondering how, look for examples on http requests and downloading files. if you know regex or know how to parse html, the rest is a cake walk.

but awol is right... definately against tos. not that any of you probably care :)

[suave]

werd up to my nurga pula

[Moose]

pulas... that code I made awhile ago... you still got it? If so donate it to some kid on this board, its probably minutes away from doing what egod needs. I am just slammed and I dont think I saved a copy.

[pulaskeet]

i might have it, the .net code right? i'll look around. i think i had something similar in java too.

[Moose]

yea, I honestly don't have much time to mess with it but it should help someone get on the right path and I don't mind if someone has it.

[david blaine]

i'm too lazy to code this, but i remember there being a rss feed which lists all the image links of a user. i believe the file extension of it on their server was .ashx

also this was the exploit to view private pics a long time ago.

[villain]

eGod read PM.

if you're using C/C+ what API's are you using?
