Stripe Express Platform Scraper
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a small, Python script that automatically searches the web for platforms that pay out through Stripe Express / Stripe Connect. The goal is to build my own lead list of marketplaces where a user registers, links a Stripe Express account, and can immediately start selling services such as courses, coaching, or any similar non-physical offering.
How I picture it working
• The script takes a set of keywords and one or more target countries as input.
• It queries the major search engines (think Google, Bing, Yahoo or whichever you wire in) and crawls the first few result pages for each keyword.
• For every candidate URL it detects, it follows links, looks for Stripe onboarding endpoints or public JavaScript references that clearly show Stripe Express/Connect is the payout method, and ignores sites using other gateways.
• The final output is a clean CSV or JSON file listing the platform URL, brief description pulled from the page, and the country it serves.
If something here sounds unclear, feel free to suggest improvements before you dive in.
