Looking for Python expert

This project centers on creating a Python-based automation script that reliably scrapes data from social media platforms. The code must log in when necessary, navigate dynamic content, respect rate limits, and save the harvested information in a clean, structured format (CSV or JSON works).

I will provide the list of target profiles, hashtags, or pages once the contract starts; the script should be flexible enough for me to adjust those inputs later without touching the core logic. Please build on Python 3 and feel free to use libraries such as Requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium, or Scrapy—whatever achieves stable results while keeping external dependencies lightweight.

Deliverables (all required):
• Fully-commented Python script (.py) ready to run from the command line
• A short README explaining setup, required libraries, and runtime instructions
• Sample output file generated from a test scrape to show the format is correct

Acceptance will be based on the script completing a dry-run scrape on two supplied social media URLs, producing the expected output without throwing errors.
