Enhance Python Script for Web Scraping
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I'm utilizing a Python script for web scraping on maps.google.com. Currently, the script is capable of gathering business names. I need a professional to enhance the script with the following features:
- Collection of Phone Numbers and Website URLs: The script should be modified to collect phone numbers and website links alongside the already functioning name collection. This is important for my marketing research purposes.
- Auto-Scroll Down Feature: The script should be adjusted to automatically scroll down the page to retrieve all the necessary data. Presently, the script's functionality is limited as it only collects data from the initial view of the webpage.
Data Privacy and Legal Considerations:
To ensure compliance with data protection regulations and maintain ethical standards in my marketing research practices, I plan to:
- Obtain Consent: I will ensure that the data collected is done with the explicit consent of the businesses involved.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
I'm looking for an experienced Python developer with a background in web scraping and data privacy. The ideal candidate should:
- Have a proven track record in developing web scraping tools
- Possess a good understanding of data privacy laws and ethical data usage
- Be able to implement an auto-scroll down functionality in the script.
