Project description :
I want a web scraper that can download the contact details of grocery stores from Yelp.
Yelp is a reviews-based website, which lists grocery stores based on location, area and geography
Your task is to write a code and upload it onto my FTP folder. The code should allow me to define a variable called "City name".
When the code is run, it should find all entries on Yelp with that city name. Here is an example for the city name "Boise" which is in Idaho, USA
https://www.yelp.com/biz/natural-grocers-boise
https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Grocery&find_loc=Boise%2C+ID
From this page (https://www.yelp.com/biz/natural-grocers-boise) I want these 4 fields to be scraped and displayed on the output table page.
1. Name of the business (This is at the top banner)
2. Website (This is on the right side)
3. Phone number (This is on the right side)
4. Address (This is on the right side)
The output page will be a text-based table that displays these 4 fields in 4 columns.
Here is a useful page on how to scrape with code (https://scrapfly.io/blog/how-to-scrape-yelpcom/). However, you will also need to apply your own imagination and skills to get the correct output.
This is an intensive, manual work project that will take at least 4 hours of dedicated effort to understand the website structure and write the correct code.
Please proceed with reading further, only if you are willing to work hard and devote time to complete the task correctly.
What we are looking for - Your ideal skills and experience:
- Strong experience in coding, preferably in creating scraper tools
- Excellent attention to detail
- Proficiency in using search engines and online databases
- Ability to work efficiently and meet strict deadlines
Project Scope:
- The output data should be accurate and up-to-date.
- The project needs to be completed within the timeline.
Deliverables:
- A well-organized output page containing the contact details, which can be changed based on the input city name (variable)
Note: Only freelancers with proven experience in writing web scrapers and PHP code should apply. Accuracy and efficiency are crucial for this project.
We will randomly check a few records for accuracy before releasing the payment milestone, so please work carefully and try to finish as quickly as possible.
FTP folder login details will be shared with the winning bidder.
*************************************************************************************************************
Please bid only if you have previous experience and can deliver within the time specified, otherwise do not waste your valuable bid. Work must be 100% clean and professional
Timely, sincere work will earn positive feedback and prompt payment. So take the task seriously, and show us your best work.
Best of luck in your bid!
