What you get with this Offer
If you haven't yet found a web scraping bot that gets the exact data you need, I don't blame you. Scraping any given website for various kinds of data - text, metadata, images, video URLs, thumbnail URLs, content loaded by JavaScript and what not - is specific to the way each website is made and is sometimes very challenging to get access to. Well, your search might just be over.
With this offer, you get a web scraping bot that gets the data you need, in the format you need, and is scalable. I use a specific set of tools and strategy to scrape your desired data from any website, clean up and preprocess the data, store it in a database without duplication, and help you automate the whole process so you can run the bot by yourself with a single command or a scheduled task.
Here are some of the tools I use for the job:
1. Python 3 - the best suited programming language out there for web/data scraping
2. Scrapy - a Python library designed for web scraping. Scales very well since it has an entire workflow for crawling web pages by following links, extracting data along the way, preprocessing and storing in databases through ORM.
3. Selenium - a Python library intended for testing in web development. Best suited when the job involves extracting dynamically loaded content in web pages, or mimicking real-world user interaction (like selecting a radio button, submitting a form, etc.) for reaching the data you need.
4. Beautiful Soup - another Python library that is best suited for simple scraping tasks that don't involve complex workflow.
5. SQLAlchemy - a Python ORM library for securely managing data in a database.
I have scraped websites of all sizes that are built differently from each other, and there were very few instances where a particular data turned out to be not reachable. My promise is that:
1. I'll provide you with the best chances of getting the data you need
2. I'll always tell you beforehand if a particular task was not feasible
3. If I agree to take the job and the delivery is not complete or satisfactory, you get the full refund.
PS: Please respect the policy of the websites you intend to scrape data from. If a website's policy doesn't allow web scraping, I trust you to be aware of it and to restrain from scraping it.
Looking forward to work with you.
