Basic Website Text Scraper Needed
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’m looking for a concise, no-frills solution that pulls plain text from a small set of websites I will specify. The job is strictly about text—no images or media files.
Deliverables:
• A lightweight script (Python is ideal, but I’m open to another language if it runs easily on Windows or Linux).
• Simple configuration so I can add or remove target URLs without touching the code.
• Output saved to CSV or JSON with one row per page and clear fields for URL, page title, and cleaned body text.
• A quick read-me explaining setup, how to run the scraper, and any required libraries.
The sites are standard public webpages—nothing behind a login—and there’s no need for advanced rotating proxies, multithreading, or headless browsers unless you feel it’s essential for stability.
Keep it straightforward, resource-light, and easy for me to maintain or extend later.
