Python Developer Wanted to Repair Web Scraper
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need an experienced Python developer to scrape data from this website: "Loopnet.com" while using proxies. It appears that LoopNet may have added a script to prevent fetching data on their site while using proxies. The python script was previously working and it appears that the website has changed its structure so the scraper crashes at some point, or the website added bot detection that blocks proxies.
- Issues: The scraper has stopped collecting data while using proxies (via Proxyrack), and it is crucial that it is fixed ASAP.
- Purpose: The scraper is intended to collect commercial business listings.
Additional Information: The exact source of the listings has not been specified, as it may vary. Your flexibility and problem-solving skills will be crucial in finding a solution.
Ideal Candidates:
- Proficient in Python and web scraping techniques.
- Previous experience with scraping commercial business listings is a plus.
- Strong problem-solving skills and flexibility.
