Technical features

Platform Robotica makes possible communication between servers via HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Websites’ owners can exchange databases and observe the process on their websites via WEB.

Robots of Platform Robotica are designed in PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS3, and they can be called by Jquery and Ajax. The programming technology is MVC (Model View Controller). The technical names of the robots are - crawlers, scrappers and webbots or just robots.

A system of robots is set on an online transitional website which is represented as a server. Software robots extract and download information in several CMS and data formats – XML; CSV; SQL.

Doing queries

In order Platform Robotica to work properly the communication file (API) must be installed on the user’s website. Every robot has documentation and instructions which must be followed.

Websites' owners make a registration on the Platform, choose a robot from a list, add criteria from options given in the transitional web server and do a query in searching requested information in another website with a permission of the owner of the relevant site. Once the task is inserted, the robot of Robotica downloads information quickly, accurately and in the required quantities. Operators can give a query for searching data in determinate period - daily / weekly or according to a website owner’s preference. Each robot can process a large number of requests.
