I’m looking for someone to use the Shopping.com API to do an HTTP request to retrieve products “by keyword” & to parse the XML response to return 3 results. I’d like for you to extract the product name, product image, the link to that product, the store where it’s being sold, and price for that product. The API includes instructions on the parameters to add to the URI that requests this information easily.
I already have: FTP setup, URL setup and configured (www.LikeYouWantIt.com), PHP installed on server, an account with Shopping.com, API credentials from Shopping.com, and links to the SDK for the Shopping.com API (http://developer.shopping.com/docs).
I will not need you to do any graphics or CSS work or system admin work for any other parts of my site. I do not need for you to build out an entire site or anything other than this specific rectangle. I simply want to fill in one small rectangle on an otherwise completely empty site with three products returned through the API. I have attached an image below that shows how I would like the layout of the response data to be, but I will handle the colors, font sizes, etc on my own through CSS once i have the data being pulled correctly. The URL www.LikeYouWantIt.com shows how I’d like to query the API based on the $variables that I have setup in PHP.
I simply need help with the installation of the JAVA/REST libraries, the request for data using the keyword variables that I provide, the parsing of the responses from Shopping.com, and putting the response fields (image, link, name, price) into separate rows of an HTML table using PHP.
For the right person, this will be a quick/trivial project…I would like to choose the best person to do this project by tomorrow and hope to finish and finalize payment within one or two days. Once we’ve selected each other, I will deliver FTP login, the URL of the skeleton PHP files, the API credentials for Shopping.com, and links to the Shopping SDK.
There will be other similar projects in the future, so if we are a good fit for each other, this is an opportunity to potentially build an ongoing relationship.
