Longterm: Python Guru for Refining Existing Script and Running for Weekly Data Collection
Budget: €2 – €6 EUR
I'm looking for a Python expert who can help me with a data collection task. The data will be sourced from public website using a script. The script already exists and is in working order, but shall be refined within the collaboration. The script shall be run on your local system (Linux) at least on a weekly basis. It stores the data in an existing database and downloads media files.

Important: Read the full description carefully until the end. There's an easter egg you must follow: Proposals that don’t reflect a complete understanding will be disregarded due to avoid auto-generates proposals. Thanks for your understanding.

This will be a LONGTERM collaboration for months and years, not only one single job.
I am a coder myself, so we’ll be speaking the same language — you may expect smooth, clear, and professional communication.
Key Requirements:
- Run a Python script on weekly basis to collect data from websites.
- Modify and optimize the script.
Ideal skills and experience:
- Proficient in Python with a strong understanding of web scraping techniques.
- Prior experience in developing Python scripts for data collection.
- Ability to troubleshoot and optimize scripts for better performance.
You need to be able to work with these libraries:
- yt_dlp
- selenium
- PIL
- pandas
- requests
An initial task (job) will be as follows:
- Install and perform a test run of the existing Python script.
- Use it to collect data from 5 to 10 content pages => the data will be stored in the database.
- Provide a database dump after completion.
- Provide an archive or directory listing of downloaded media files.
➡️ This initial task serves purely to verify your technical capabilities.
If successful, we can discuss a long-term collaboration.
Please submit your proposal including your hourly rate.
? Important ?
The rate you propose will serve as the basis for our collaboration. Any attempts to increase your rate later on will result in immediate termination of communication without further notice. We value reliability and do not work with time-wasters - unfortunately there's too many of them here at freelancer.com. If you are a time-waster = do not propose, you will also waste your time.
If you’re looking to earn honest money on a regular basis, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for.
Payment can be in any currency, like $ or Euro.
? IMPORTANT READ THIS ?
Auto-generated bids will not be taken into account and rejected immediately without further notice, so IMPORTANT, start your proposal with the solution of the math: tw@ p|u$ s|x (just start with the integer of the correct solution of previous math, e.g. „5“).
