build scraper for us.megabus.com

This project will require you to use cookies to scrape [login to view URL], which is an ASP.NET site. Deliverable is a short bit of python code. You may use outside python libraries like mechanize and your favorite html parser. (My favorite is lxml.) Deliverable contains a function: createListOfRoutes(dt, departure_request_code, arrival_request_code) where * dt is a [login to view URL] date of departure * departure_request_code indicates the departure station (e.g., New York's departure_request_code is "37") * arrival_request_code indicates the arrival station createListOfRoutes returns an array of all one-way schedules and prices for the search day. Each schedule/price option is a dictionary in the following format: { 'price': 9.0, 'book_string' : '.', 'legs' : [{ 'routeName' : 'MegaBus NE', 'mode' : 'bus', 'departure_result_code' : 'New York, Penn Station 31st St. and 8th. Ave', 'arrival_result_code' : 'Boston, South Station', 'departureTime' : [login to view URL](2010, 4, 8, 1, 30), 'arrivalTime' : [login to view URL](2010, 4, 8, 5, 45), 'provider' : '' }] } Note that 'book_string' should always be '.' (a period), 'mode' should always be 'bus' and 'provider' should always be '' (empty string). Also, please note that routeName should change based on the route.
