Python Web Scraper for Hotel Rates

Job ID: 38950807

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I'm seeking a proficient Python developer to create a web scraper for extracting hotel rates from several online travel agencies (OTAs). The specific sites to be targeted are Expedia, Agoda, Ctrip, and Airasia.

Key Requirements:
- Scraper should be capable of collecting:
- Room rates
- Room availability
- Customer reviews
- The scraper should run as needed, rather than on a fixed schedule.

Ideal skills for this project include:
- Extensive Python programming experience
- Prior experience with web scraping
- Familiarity with parsing HTML and handling web data
- Ability to create a reliable, efficient scraper that can handle multiple sites.

Please note that this project requires not just technical skills, but also a degree of discretion and professionalism, as the data being collected is commercially sensitive.
