An .exe that will collect information from the following websites, www.findbiz.gr, www.xo.gr and www.vrisko.gr, and based of the input I will export and xls file in columns with the data.
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I am looking for a freelancer who can create an .exe program that will collect business contact information from three specific websites: www.findbiz.gr, www.xo.gr, and www.vrisko.gr.
Specifically, I need the program to scrape the websites and extract the contact information of businesses listed on these sites.
Once the information is collected, I would like the program to export it into an .xls file, with each piece of data in its own column.
I already have a template for the .xls file that can be used, so the freelancer can simply follow that structure.
As for the functionality of the program, I am not sure if it should auto-update and fetch new data over time, or if it is a one-time task. I would appreciate some advice on this matter.
Ideal skills and experience for this project include:
- Web scraping and data extraction
- Experience with .exe program development
- Proficiency in working with .xls files and formatting
- Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate data collection
