I have had a suite of Delphi programs/modules written that access a website and scrape information from it. The site has now officially opened an API and I want my programs converted to use this API..
There are 9 main program/modules and a number of general purpose routines that require conversion..
The target date for full conversion is November 1st
I can provide copies of the .pas source to any interested parties and details of the API..

Thanks to all for the interest shown in this project..
However, I was just about to award the project to a bidder, when I received notification from the providers of the API that they have a major new release scheduled for July..! In the circumstances I consider it prudent to put the project on hold until it has been released and proven..
Again, many thanks for your interest..
