I will build a custom website scraper with scheduled runs and clean CSV export
About this Gig
I build clean Python scrapers that fetch web data for you on a schedule. Product prices, real estate listings, competitor catalogs, reviews, or leads.
What you get. A working scraper built with Python and Playwright. It handles JavaScript rendered sites, pagination, anti bot edge cases, and structured extraction via JSON LD or configurable CSS selectors. Output as CSV, JSON, Excel, Google Sheets, or directly to your database.
Common use cases. Competitor price monitoring with daily Slack alerts on drops. Real estate listing aggregation across portals. E commerce product catalog and review extraction. Lead generation from directories and listing sites. News and articles for analytics or RAG pipelines.
Premium adds full automation. GitHub Actions cron, CSV diffing, and alerts on changes. Same architecture as my public competitor price monitor repo on GitHub.
I am honest about limits. Sites with aggressive anti bot protection like Cloudflare Turnstile, login walls, or residential only access can require paid proxies or are not worth scraping. I will tell you upfront if your target falls into that bucket.

FAQ
What information do you need to get started?
The URL(s) of the site(s) you want scraped, the exact fields you need (e.g. product name, price, SKU, image URL), the output format (CSV/JSON/Excel/Sheets/DB), and how often you want it to run (one-time, daily, hourly).
Is web scraping legal?
Generally yes for publicly accessible data, but it depends on the site's Terms of Service and what you do with the data (GDPR for personal data, copyright for content reuse). I scrape only public data, respect robots.txt where reasonable, and add polite delays. For grey-area targets I will flag risk
What if the website changes its layout and breaks the scraper?
My scrapers use layered extraction (JSON-LD first, microdata, CSS selectors as fallback) so most redesigns do not break them. Selectors live in config, not code, so small changes are 1-line fixes. If it breaks within 14 days and is config-fixable, I fix it free.
Can you handle login, captcha, or anti-bot protection?
Login: yes if you provide credentials and there is no hard captcha. Basic anti-bot (UA, rate limits): yes via headers and delays. Hard anti-bot (Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, residential-only): possible with paid proxies, but cost goes up and reliability drops. I tell you upfront.
Where does the scraper run after delivery?
Basic/Standard: you run it on your machine or server (I provide instructions). Premium: I deploy to GitHub Actions (free for public, generous for private), runs on schedule without your input. AWS Lambda, Render, or your own VPS on request.
What about ongoing costs?
GitHub Actions: free for most cases. Storage: CSV file (free). Proxies (only if site requires them): from $30/month with providers like Bright Data or Smartproxy. I do not charge anything after delivery unless you want me to maintain or extend the scraper.
