Real-Time Price Aggregator Clone
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a web application that functions like peptiprices.com—pulling live prices from the e-commerce sites I specify and displaying them side-by-side in a clean, searchable interface. The core requirements are straightforward:
• Real-time data grabber: as soon as a product price changes on any tracked e-commerce site, the new figure should appear on my site without manual refreshes.
• CMS driven: the whole front end and product catalogue must sit on an easy-to-use content management system so I can add pages, tweak copy, or swap in new merchants on my own. Tell me which platform you think is best (WordPress + custom plugin, Drupal with a module stack, headless CMS, etc.) and why you prefer it.
• Editable merchant list: within the admin panel I should be able to paste in, import, or toggle each store URL that the scraper monitors.
• Dashboard & logs: I want to see when each price was last fetched and be alerted if a site blocks or rate-limits the crawler.
Deliverables I will review for acceptance
1. A working site hosted on my server or staging environment.
2. Source code, theme, and any custom plugins/modules.
3. Written setup instructions so I can reinstall from scratch.
4. Brief walkthrough call or video explaining the CMS workflow (adding products, changing content, viewing logs).
If you have off-the-shelf scraping APIs, Python scripts, or Node.js microservices that integrate cleanly with the chosen CMS, feel free to propose them. The simpler the maintenance, the better.
