Data Scraping and Database Building

Job ID: 38139759

Budget: $8 – $15 USD

DATA SCRAPPING DATABASE

This is an interesting overview of the steps that might be involved in completing this project:

1. Develop a web scraping script using Python (e.g., BeautifulSoup, Scrapy) to extract data from relevant grant databases and websites (if possible, considering anti-scraping measures).

Sites to be scraped:

http://eda.gov

http://sba.gov

http://grants.gov

http://sams.gov


2. Design a database schema to store the extracted data.


3. Write scripts to clean, transform, and load the data into the database.


4. Design a WordPress directory listing interface with search filters to display the grant information.


5. Develop a user interface to query and display the grant information based on customer criteria
6. Create a Python plugin for WordPress to automate the scraping work, using tools like WP-Python or PyWP.


This plugin would allow for scheduled scraping, data updates, and integration with WordPress's database and user interface.

Please note that this is a simplified outline, and the actual implementation would require lexpertise in web scraping, data processing, database management, and WordPress plugin development.
