Greetings,
I require someone to write python code to scrape [login to view URL] for apartment/condo and house rental ads. An example page to scrape is:
[login to view URL]
The script must open the link for each listing and collect some important fields:
Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, address, rent, date listed, date edited, postal code, description, furnished, pet friendly
I would like to scrape all the thumbnail images for each listing, too.
I would prefer the script to write directly to a MySQL database using the MySQLdb library, but using a different library or writing to .csv files is okay.
The script should allow specification of city, which you can see is part of the URL.
One of the subtle points of the script is that it should scrape only new and updated listings since the last time it was run. I must be able to supply a "date of last run" to the script as a parameter when it runs, and it will only scrape listings newer than that date.

Hello. I am experienced with web scraping mostly using python. I have a couple of questions regarding the desired deliverable:
How do you want to be able to run the scraper and when?
Would it be run periodically? (Eg: once a day)
Do you have a desired environment where you want to run this? (linux server, desktop)
Do you want to have a visual interface?
Greetings,
I am pretty experienced with Python-based web scraping, and I am willing to help.
This bid covers creating a command-line Python code that can incrementally collect rental ads from the specified web site and save scraped data into a MySQL database. To implement some desired functionalities, the code may incorporate third-party packages including pycurl, lxml, and MySQLdb.
A functional version of the code can be created within 1-2 day(s). The rest of the bidding timeframe is for thorough testing and improvement.
Feel free to reach me through private messages.
I'd like to help you with your Python scraping project. I've written numerous web scrapers before so rest assured that I can do it and as fast as possible.

Hi,
I've been developing in Python for over 10 years, and have past experience in using scrapy/beautiful soup. I am also a native english speaker, which will certainly be useful for our conversations as well as knowing what pieces of the webpage are relevant to capture.
I have extensively used MySQLdb as well and have made quite a few command line tools using argparse in Python.
I look forward to hearing from you, and if there are any additional questions don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you,
Chris

I can code. Especially in python. I know you might seem skeptical considering I haven't done any freelance projects before, but it's one of those job-experience paradoxes ( To get a job you need previous experience, to get experience you need a job).
I've used python as a scraper on a previous project before. I developed a price crawler for my friend's start-up. I had to basically collect pricing data from various Indian e-commerce websites.
I've also interned at a start-up called MyParichay. Check out their application. http://www.myparichay.in. I'd say most of their homepage and profile page backend code was written by me in Python. Did I mention using MySQL as our database?
So here's the plan. I'm going to use urllib2, a python library that helps in opening URL's and to parse through the HTML, I'm going to use Beautiful Soup. I'd have to tweak the program here and there depending on the different websites that you'll provide me with.
We can also automate this script in case you need that, to run say every 24 hours.
I look forward to speaking with you. Even if it's to hear the reasons why I didn't get selected. ( IS IT BECAUSE I'M UGLY!?!!)
Hi! I am a recent graduate with a degree in Computer Science looking for work.
I have experience writing scraping programs in both Python and PHP - my last freelancer job was a PHP scraping program.
Are you going to be running the script from the command line and running the database locally?
I look forward to hearing from you,
Tally
