Hello,
I would like to take on this project as it fits right in with my interests in data science and my hobby of coding scrapers for various websites. I am a freelance web developer who works mostly with Wordpress. After studying computer sciences at University I started my own company to do freelance work. Besides this I work part-time for a large e-commerce business. I have over 5 years of experience with HTML, CSS, and PHP, and I have been coding in Python and C# for around 3 years now.
If I were to take on this project I would prefer to code the scraper in Python. I use the ScraPy library combined with BeautifulSoup4 to scrape and parse any data. The scraped data can be output in a file format of your choice, however I recommend a simple CSV.
I would like to know a couple of things so I can estimate the scope of the project and quote a final price:
What is the target website(s)?
Which pages need to be scraped, or the entire database?
Which data needs to be saved, and in what file format?
Would you like me to deliver a working script to do the scraping, or simply deliver the scraped data?
Feel free to check out my resume and my portfolio. I can give you more examples of code and working software I have written if needed.
Please message me and we can discuss the details of the project.
With kind regards,
Jordi Gerritsen
