Web scraping using Playwright (which is a fork of Puppeteer) ❋ No experience necessary
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
You must be at least 16 years old.
You do *not* need any experience.
You will use Playwright to scrape Fiverr. (You will *not* use Selenium).
You must live in one of the countries in the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe, or Latin America indicated below.
✻ THE PROJECT ✻
You will use Playwright https://github.com/microsoft/playwright to scrape Fiverr. For example, let's say I want to search for the following...
https://www.fiverr.com/search/gigs?query=python&source=top-bar&search_in=everywhere&search-autocomplete-original-term=py&ref=seller_location%3AAL%2CBA%2CBG%2CBO%2CBR%2CCL%2CCO%2CCR%2CDO%2CEC%2CGT%2CHN%2CME%2CMK%2CMX%2CPE%2CPR%2CPY%2CRO%2CRS%2CUY%2CXK
Every week or two I will run your Playwright web scraper so that will have a list of the new freelancers (sellers) who recently signed up on Fiverr who meet my criteria. In other words, I will have a list of the freelancers (sellers) who signed up during the last week.
Are you confused? When I open the URL above I see all of the sellers who have "Python" in their profile from the countries indicated (for example, Mexico and Serbia). That is not very helpful to me because I have contacted almost all of those sellers previously. See, I only want to contact the new sellers (the sellers I have not contacted previously).
I will run the web scraper you create on my laptop which runs Lubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Your web scraper store data in a .CSV file (spreadsheet format) on my laptop.
You will not create a GUI (graphical user interface). Instead, I will change a configuration file stored on my laptop. The configuration file will contain items such as the search term (for example, Python) or to change the countries (for example, Brazil or Albania).
