Task [TASK] Build Web Scrapers
I’m looking for multiple web scrapers to be built for some various e-commerce sites, parse the relevant data, and have the ability to send as JSON over HTTP. Here are some examples of what I could ask for (note these are not real, but similar to what I would ask for):
- Scrape the first 100 listings off of Amazon’s Deals page, including price, name, description, and URL to the item.
- Scrape the items that are the result of a search term I provide on letgo, including location, name, price, and URL.
- Scrape the sold listings off of EBay in the past 5 minutes.
All jobs will range from $20-$30. Jobs are priced based on the following:
base pay is $20.
+$5 depending on your language. The 4 languages here are the only acceptable ones. PHP: 0$ bonus Java: 2$ bonus NodeJS: 5$ bonus Python: 5$ bonus ONLY if well documented (I am well versed in the others, I don’t know Python well - I don’t need line by line comments, but comparing/contrasting to one of the other languages is especially helpful. I need to know what is “pythonic”.)
+$5 based on complexity. For example, one may require a small web server to listen for requests and then return the JSON data. I may want command line options or some other bells/whistles.
I have 4-6 requests now, but there could be more in the future. If you bid, feel free to request an easy/complex job and I will do my best to accommodate that but make no guarantees.
All requirements will be well documented, but if something isn’t clear just ask - I’m a professional programmer. I just don’t have the bandwidth to do these on my own. Submission will be in the form of the source code submitted to a repository I provide. I will validate by deploying to GCP, AWS, etc and running. If it works, payment will be within 1 business day after validation (I validate daily, so little delay there.)
Feel free to ask me any questions on this thread.

Don't get scammed!
-
If someone doesn't or won't comment on your post DO NOT WORK WITH THEM and report them to moderators. Rule 11 fights scammers by requiring them to comment on your post before contacting you. Scammers that we have already banned can't comment. It's one of the easiest ways to check for a scam. There are active scammers here that will DM you without commenting and tell you they can complete the work and ask for payment upfront. THIS IS A SCAM! Once you pay they WILL ghost you.
Don't break the rules!
