a live tracking site that tracks different sites to get the latest price of items automatically. How do I achieve it programmatically?Suggestion for a product price tracking site . what to use for programming?
You will need to use some kind of server side technology (i.e. ColdFusion, ASP .Net, PHP, JSP, ...etc.) in order to do that. Personally, I am a ColdFusion developer; I would suggest that you use ColdFusion.
Once you have this server side technology, what you would do is to call a web service to grab the latest prices of the items and then display the prices dynamically. If web services are not available, there are two other ways to grab the prices. One way to do it is to fetch for http contents and parse the text to get the prices. The other way to do it would be to contact the sellers of these items to get them send you their price lists every day (by using excel sheets or whatever formats that they can give you), and then look up the prices of the items on the excel sheets, and display the prices dynamically.
