I recently had a project completed b a freelancer. It is a data scraper - scraping data from [login to view URL] using a Python script. I only get about a 30% success rate in running this script. I often get error messages such as the one in the screenshot I have attached in the files. Then these occur the whole programme stops. I either need to code to be fixed (if there is an obvious problem with it) or for the script to be altered to bypass the problem when it occurs so that the script continues rather than ended when the error occurs. These errors simply mean that a listing on the website will not be accounted for and that is not a problem. I have included all files that I was given by the freelancer who completed the project. I type the following into the CMD prompt within the folder to make the program run: python [login to view URL] I have also included the original video provided to the freelancer who completed the project for your reference - it might be of help to you. I look forward to someone who can make this script a reliable one.

Fixed! Here is the image, [login to view URL] I reduced my bid! Edit: problem is here current_price = float(sub(r'[^\d.]', '', current_price)) last_price = float(sub(r'[^\d.]', '', last_price)) because data is "string" and the script try to make it float. There is price issue. Hello, I am now checking your [login to view URL] really quickly, please wait for my edit or you can write to me directly through chat. I cannot write to you. I will check it or write the entire script again if it is not easy to fix. I will reduce my bid if it is easy to fix. Thanks Best

Hi, I'm a Python Developer. Looking at the error message and running the script, I can think of two possible resolutions for this error. First is going to be straightforward where I'll modify the script such that it would bypass these errors and keep working as usual. So, even if errors like this occur, script won't stop. Second would be to resolve the issue which is causing these errors. I'd need to observe the website itself for that. We can go with either one. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards

The error: 'could not convert string to float' means only one thing, the scrapped data ('current_price') that is being converted to float, is NOT numeric. In your code this problem is already taken care of by removing non-numeric characters using 'regex substitution' method. Despite that you getting this error points to the fact that most probably 'current_price' data is EMPTY (does not contain any data). This issue happens most of the times during scrapping because the code did not allow sufficient waiting time for the data to be loaded, hence ended up capturing some stale/invalid data. Looking at your code, similar problems might exist in other lines as well. In addition to fixing this issue, I can sanitise the entire python script to enhance its reliability. My day job involves automating web application testing (logging into websites, navigating, extracting data, validating etc.) using Python. It requires extensive knowledge of synchronisation techniques which makes automation of web page operations more reliable so that the automation scripts always behave predictably. In your case this is exactly what you require, your Python script to be more robust and reliable. I have good hands-on experience using Python and Selenium WebDriver API (which is used in your project and where the problem needs to be fixed). If these are the skillsets you are looking for, I will be happy to help and impress. Thanks & Regards, Kamalesh
