What you get with this Offer
Data is widely available on the web. However, extracting these data quickly and accurately can either be challenging or expensive, or both. Here's where I can help. I am a professional web scraper with 3+ years of experience working with web scraping, data manipulation and text parsing. I uses lots of different web scraping tools and techniques that simulate human copy paste process and data extraction from websites, quickly, accurately, and at an incredibly AFFORDABLE price!
Here's what I'll do for this offer:
✔ Extract data from unique URLs. For example, these could be product pages or links to product categories or subcategories. This hourly includes maximum 1000 data records and for a single domain only.
✔ No limit on data points per URL
✔ Output format will be MS Excel or Google Sheet with data parsed and formatted (for example, if you want first and last names separated, street/city/region/zip code separated, etc.)
✔ Turn around time is within 24 hours depending on the volume of data and complexity of the website or data source.
The data we can collect on each URL can be anything visible on the page (or its source code) such as metadata, product titles and descriptions, prices, number or orders, product images, tabulated information. Please note that some websites utilizes pervasive and sophisticated anti-scraping systems which hides, obfuscates, or scrambles data, or triggers frequent captchas/verification. In cases like these, it can sometimes be difficult if not impossible to extract the data. IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE PURCHASING THIS OFFER.
