Build a tool that processes an AutoTrader UK search URL, visits all adverts returned, and appends selected data to Google Sheets. The tool must capture “Date advert posted” as shown by the Chrome extension AT Price Tracker. Each postcode location run should write results to a specific Google Sheets tab (either an existing tab or a newly created one). Example URL, which I can provide for locations: [login to view URL] ________________________________________ Data to Capture (per advert) The “Date advert posted” is not normally shown by AutoTrader, but it is visible using the Chrome plugin AT Price Tracker. The solution must capture that value. • Date advert posted (from AT Price Tracker), If AT Price Tracker integration fails, run in dedupe-only mode. • Phone number (if visible; click “Show number” if needed) • Make or Model • Price • Mileage • Location (town/area) • Distance from postcode (in URL, miles) Autotrader displays this in advert • Advert URL • Listing ID (from URL, for dedupe) ________________________________________ Key Requirements • Process all pages of search results. • Optional date range filter (inclusive, UK time). • Deduplication required (listing ID or URL). • If date cannot be retrieved, skip advert and log it. • If AT Price Tracker integration fails, run in dedupe-only mode. • Run when requested ________________________________________ Output • Append rows to Google Sheets (one advert per row). • Each postcode/location writes to its own Google Sheets tab (use an existing tab if present, otherwise create a new one). • Required columns: o Date posted o Phone o Location o URL o Listing ID ________________________________________ Configuration • Search URL (postcode varies per run) • Target Google Sheet ID • Target tab name (per postcode) or auto-create if missing • Date-from / date-to (optional) ________________________________________ Implementation (open to advice or other options) • Browser automation preferred • Must read AT Price Tracker–exposed data. If possible • Rate-limited, robust error handling, logging. ________________________________________ Deliverables • Working script + source code • Google Sheets API integration ________________________________________ Acceptance Criteria • Running the tool appends all matching adverts to the correct sheet tab. • Re-running does not create duplicates. • Date filtering works when enabled. • Logs show totals: found / added / skipped / failed. ________________________________________ No renegotiate and on price if you accept the project. Unless the valid reason is given outside of the job description

Hi, I’m a full-stack developer with 13 years of experience in browser automation, web scraping, and Google Sheets API. I will build a browser-automated tool that processes AutoTrader UK search URLs, visits all adverts, captures data (including Date Posted via AT Price Tracker), deduplicates by listing ID, applies optional date filters, and appends results to postcode-specific Google Sheets tabs. If date capture fails, it will safely switch to dedupe-only mode with clear logs. Deliverables: working script, source code, Sheets API integration, and clean logging. Ready to start immediately at the agreed price.

I’ve built browser-automation tools that scrape multi-page marketplaces and push clean, deduplicated data into Google Sheets using the Sheets API. I have experience working with Chrome-based automation (Playwright / Puppeteer / Selenium) and extracting data exposed by browser extensions or injected page objects. I’ve implemented robust dedupe logic using listing IDs and URLs, plus date-range filtering with proper timezone handling. I’ve handled gated data like phone numbers by triggering “show number” actions and waiting for dynamic content safely. I design scrapers with rate limiting, retries, and structured logging so reruns are stable and auditable. For Google Sheets, I’ve built systems that auto-create tabs, append rows, and prevent duplicates across runs. I can implement fallback logic so the tool switches to dedupe-only mode if AT Price Tracker data is unavailable. I will deliver a clean, well-documented script and ensure acceptance criteria are met exactly as described. I can start your project immediately.

With your project requiring attention to detail, robust error handling, and a keen sense of data management, you can rely on my 10+ years of experience as a freelancer to deliver a solution that ticks all the boxes. I've successfully completed similar projects that involved automating browser tasks, extracting and processing data, and integrating with the Google Sheets API. Not only am I proficient in technologies like Python, JavaScript (including automation libraries like Puppeteer), but I'm also comfortable to adapt and learn new languages or tools for your specific requirements – this includes AT Price Tracker integration. Moreover, I understand the importance of delivering results consistently while avoiding duplications, which is why I pay close attention to designing efficient processes for deduplication. This includes identifying unique identifiers like Listing IDs or URLs to ensure that re-running the tool does not create duplicates. Additionally, my skills in SQL can prove helpful in filtering data based on dates if you decide to implement that feature in the tool.

Hi Gavin, with 9 years of experience in the field, I am best suited to complete this project. The requirement is to build a tool that processes an AutoTrader UK search URL, visits all adverts returned, and appends selected data to Google Sheets. **How I will be completing this project:** I will ensure that the tool captures all the required data per advert, processes all pages of search results, and implements optional date range filters. The tool will also have robust error handling, logging, and will append rows to Google Sheets with the necessary data. **What tech stack I will be following:** I will be using browser automation for implementation and Google Sheets API integration for appending data to Google Sheets. I will also incorporate AT Price Tracker for capturing the required data. **Roadmap:** 1. Understand the project requirements in detail. 2. Develop the tool to process AutoTrader UK search URL. 3. Implement data capture and deduplication functionalities. 4. Integrate Google Sheets API for appending data. 5. Test the tool for accuracy and efficiency. 6. Deliver the working script along with source code. I have worked on similar solutions in the past and have the relevant skills to successfully complete this project.

Hi there, Your project is about building a browser-automation based scraper that takes an AutoTrader UK search URL, walks every page of results, opens each advert, and reliably extracts fields like listing date, phone, price, mileage, location, distance, and IDs, then appends them into structured rows in Google Sheets with strict deduplication and logging. A solid solution is a headless (or visible) Chrome automation using a tool like Playwright or Puppeteer: it can read the “Date advert posted” exactly where the AT Price Tracker extension renders it in the DOM, fall back to a dedupe-only mode when that value is not available, and handle “Show number” clicks, pagination, optional date filters, and rate limiting so AutoTrader’s anti‑bot limits and terms of use are respected. For Google Sheets, the tool would batch-append rows via the Sheets API to avoid quota issues, automatically selecting or creating a tab per postcode, and ensuring that re‑runs only insert new adverts by checking listing ID or URL, so you can safely run it multiple times for fresh data. Each execution would produce a clear log (found / added / skipped / failed) and come with full source code plus a small config file (Sheet ID, tab name, date range, search URL) so you can adjust locations and filters without touching the core logic.

Hi, I am a full-stack automation developer with 8 years of rich experience in data extraction and backend scripting, with a strong background in browser automation and API integrations. I am familiar with JavaScript, web scraping, data processing, Google Sheets API integration, automation workflows, deduplication logic, and robust error handling. For this project, I can build a browser-based automation that processes all AutoTrader search result pages, visits each advert, captures the AT Price Tracker–exposed “date advert posted,” extracts the required listing details, and appends clean, deduplicated rows to the correct Google Sheets tab per postcode. The script will support optional UK date filtering, handle rate limits gracefully, log skipped or failed adverts, and fall back to a dedupe-only mode if the date value is unavailable. I'm an individual freelancer and can work on any time zone you want. Please contact me with the best time for you to have a quick chat. Looking forward to discussing more details. Thanks. Emile.
