TV Channel Schedule Web Scraping Update
Budget: $10 – $100 USD
I require a freelancer with expertise in web scraping to update my existing scraper tools which gather show time information from a multitude of television channel websites.
Every TV Channel has a web site it will scrape to get (days / times / am / pm / dates / weeks) show time info like what is currently on the channel like title of show.
The trawlers / scrappers use beautiful soap (python library) for html / xml parasing of data from web sites to pull tv guide show time info for tv channels.
The web site @ www.eternityready.com/live-tv has 83 FAITH AND FAMILY TELEVISION CHANNELS.
The web site has a back-end admin and also has ssh /sftp access for files on the vps Linux server.
The web site uses python (bottle) and php .tpl files for web site.
Key Responsibilities:
- Enhance scraper functionality to accurately extract and update show time schedules for multiple distinct channels.
- Ensure effective and precise data collection by bolstering scraper accuracy.
Information Required for Application:
- Freelancers must include a comprehensive project proposal outlining their intended methodology and approach towards this task.
Success Criteria:
- The improved scrapers will be evaluated based on the accuracy of collected data.
- The Stability and Consistency of the scrapers.
Ideal Skills:
- Proven experience in web scraping
- Firm understanding of database management
- Strong attention to detail to ensure data accuracy
- Familiarity with various TV channel websites (or quick learner) would be a plus.
