Revive Python Web Scraping Script
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
My Python script used to pull web content flawlessly, but after I deleted things files from my computer (without touching scrapper folder), I am strugglying to start it. The target sites themselves haven’t changed, so I suspect the breakage is coming from updated dependencies, altered HTML parsing logic, or a forgotten environment variable rather than a change on the websites.
What I can give you right away: the full codebase, the list of original requirements .txt, sample URLs, and a brief note on how the data was stored locally. I simply need the scraper back in a state where I can run it from the command line (or a scheduled job) and collect the same fields as before.
Please troubleshoot, patch whatever is outdated (requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium, Scrapy—whatever you find in use), and hand back:
• a working script with any modifications clearly commented
• an updated requirements .txt or environment.yml
• a short read-me so I can reproduce the fix on another machine
