Developer Needed for Automated Competitor Price Scraping Bot

Job ID: 39128931

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

We are looking for a developer to create an automated price scraping bot that will actively query and retrieve pricing data from specified competitor websites. The bot should use Headless Browser (Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, etc.) or an alternative method to dynamically interact with the websites, execute searches, and extract price information.

REQUIREMENTS & FEATURES
Ability to perform search queries on competitor websites to retrieve pricing (not just scrape existing static prices).
Dynamic content handling, ensuring prices are fetched from sites that require user interaction or AJAX-loaded data.
Headless browser automation (Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, etc.) or another effective method to extract prices.
Proxy and anti-bot protection handling, ensuring smooth operation without getting blocked.
Scheduled execution, allowing the bot to run periodically (e.g., daily, weekly) to fetch updated prices.
Export options: Data should be delivered in CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets format.
Simple execution, either via a basic script or an easy-to-use interface.
PREFERRED TECHNOLOGIES
Python (Selenium, BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, Playwright)
Node.js (Puppeteer, Playwright)
Alternative solutions are welcome if effective.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The bot must be scalable, able to query and retrieve at least 1,000 prices per session.
Handling of CAPTCHA or IP bans, including rotation strategies or bypass techniques.
Should be deployable on a server or locally.
Full source code and documentation must be provided upon completion.
One-time payment model, no ongoing subscription.
