I am excited to submit my proposal for the project involving the collection of local business details from Facebook groups and organizing them into an Excel file. With my expertise in Python, SQL, mathematics, machine learning, deep learning, data science, web scraping, Jupyter Notebook, Google Colab, and MySQL, I am well-equipped to tackle this task efficiently and accurately.
Project Understanding:
I understand that the goal of this project is to gather information about local businesses from Facebook groups and compile it into an Excel file. The data fields include the source (posting URL), type of business, business name, contact person name (optional), phone number if available, and email if available. The preferred contact method is phone, but email is acceptable if phone information is not obtainable.
Proposed Solution:
I propose to develop a Python script for web scraping, leveraging libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Requests, to extract relevant data from the provided Facebook groups. The script will collect information based on specified data fields and organize it into a structured format suitable for Excel.
Questions:
Can you provide more details about the specific Facebook groups from which the data needs to be collected? Are there any restrictions or guidelines for joining these groups?
Are there any specific data validation or quality assurance requirements that I should consider during the collection process?
Will there be any variations in the format or structure of posts within different Facebook groups? If so, how should these be handled?
Are there any privacy or legal considerations that need to be addressed when collecting and handling this data?
What is the expected turnaround time for delivering the completed Excel file containing 100 data rows?
Offer:
My offer for collecting 100 data rows (100 businesses) and organizing them into an Excel file is [insert your offer here]. I assure you of high-quality and accurate results delivered in a timely manner.
Thank you for considering my proposal. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss further details and collaborate on this project.
