Web scraping services and public data extraction

A lot of decision-useful information — competitor prices, catalogs, listings, publications — lives on the web, scattered and in no format you can analyze. I build Python extractors that collect it on a schedule, clean it and deliver it ready to use in Excel, CSV, a database or a dashboard.

01 / WHO IT’S FOR

This is a fit if…

  • You manually check competitor sites to compare prices or products.
  • You need a dataset of public listings to analyze a market.
  • You want a recurring report with information you currently copy from several pages.
  • Your research process depends on checking the same sites every day.
02 / DELIVERABLES

What you get

  • Feasibility review: sources, terms of use, frequency and volume.
  • Python extractor with error handling, retries and rate limits.
  • Data cleaning and normalization: prices, dates, categories and duplicates.
  • Delivery to Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, a database or an API.
  • Scheduled runs and alerts when a source changes its structure.
03 / PROCESS

How I work

  1. 01

    Feasibility

    I review each source: whether the data is public, what its terms and robots.txt allow, and whether an official API would be a better route.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    I extract a sample so you can confirm the fields and format work for your analysis.

  3. 03

    Production

    I build the full extractor with cleaning, error control and the agreed schedule.

  4. 04

    Maintenance

    Sites change; the system alerts you when a source stops responding the same way so it can be adjusted.

04 / TO GET STARTED

What I need from you

  • The list of sites or sources and the fields you need.
  • What you will use the data for, to choose format and frequency.
  • The destination: spreadsheet, database or your own system.
05 / SCOPE

Good to know

  • I only extract public information and respect each site's terms; I do not collect personal data or bypass logins or protections.
  • If a site changes its structure, the extractor needs adjustments.
  • Some sources block automated extraction; in that case I propose alternatives such as official APIs.

Frequently asked questions

Is web scraping legal?

Extracting public, non-personal information is generally acceptable, but it depends on each site's terms and on how the data is used, and rules differ by country. I review every source before starting and drop the ones that forbid it. This is not legal advice.

How often is the data updated?

As often as your analysis needs: once, daily, weekly or near real time. Higher frequency means more load on the sources and more infrastructure.

What format will I receive?

Whatever you use: Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, a PostgreSQL database or a filterable dashboard.

How much does a scraping project cost?

It depends on the number of sources, their technical complexity (dynamic pages, pagination, blocking) and frequency. A one-off extraction is simpler than continuous monitoring.
