What you get with this Offer
I'm unusually good at automatically scraping data from websites, REST (or messy) APIs, and directories.
I once scraped 200,000 records out of a website, by clicking on "Next" buttons, caching cookies, automatically retrying if the network connection went down, saving the data in files, and then transforming them to get loaded in a database and a search engine.
Python (+BeautifulSoup), curl, shell scripts, sed/awk, Perl, PostgreSQL/MySQL.
No job is too small, and yet the bigger the job the bigger the time/cost savings.

What the Freelancer needs to start the work
I will need:
- the url (http://...) of the website to scrape
- (uncommon) if this is a REST API that needs authentication, I will need the username and password
- the fields you want scraped
I'll provide a CSV file as output (or JSON if this is what you need instead).
