I am looking for a developer that has knowledge of using social media APIs as well as website development. I need someone who knows what they are doing and able to carry out what is need quickly but efficiently.
The Ask:
1. A bunch of custom fields in wordpress that can be completed via a template- these fields are variables needed for api call- handle, username etc
2. Code that gets API data from a number of APIs using the custom fields in a database table (probably MySQL) generated by the above. The API calls need to be done on a cronjob rather than on click of a webpage. There will be around 10 3rd party API services so scripts will be needed for each as well as an appropriate function that loops through the table- python is my first choice for this part but happy to be persuaded
3. Page template in wordpress that pulls api data depending on given name
The front end is not needed at this stage. I just request the mechanisms to achieve what I have set out.
I require detail descriptions on how you will achieve this as well as real world examples to show your competence. I can provide further detail as necessary. I am capable of doing this myself but putting the task out for speedy.
I would prefer a developer from the UK please.
Tell me your favourite cheese at the start of your proposal so I know you have read this to the end :)
