**Note**: The freelancer must identify and ensure access to reliable sources for Argentina and Chile.
#### Objectives - Extract all inhaled medication with ATC code R03. - Populate a CSV file with the specified structure (refer to the attached Excel sheet for column specifications).
#### Data Structure Each entry in the CSV should include, but is not limited to, the following columns: - `Name` - `Drug Format` - `Dosage` - `Drug Class` - `Drug Type` - `ATC Code` - `Total Puffs per Inhaler` - `Puffs a Day` - `Link` to the source page - `Image URL` of the product - `Video URL` (if available) - Additional data fields based on information structure on the source websites
Refer to the attached Excel file for the exact layout and any additional required fields.
#### Example of Data Format ```json { "dosage": 322, "drugFormat": "HFA", "drugClass": "ICS", "drugType": "ACLIDINIO BROMURO", "id": "1a478549-31ca-d61f-a9da-35cdc4616230", "image": "https://cima.aemps.es/cima/fotos/thumbnails/formafarmac/12778002/12778002_formafarmac.jpg", "link": "https://cima.aemps.es/cima/publico/detalle.html?nregistro=12778002", "name": "EKLIRA GENUAIR 322 MICROGRAMOS POLVO PARA INHALACION", "puffsADay": 0, "shortName": "ACLIDINIO BROMURO", "totalPuffsPerInhaler": 60, "video": "https://zorgatlasweb.nl/inhalatie/Films_Nederlands/Dosisaerosol.mp4", "atc_code": "R03BB05" } ```
#### Requirements 1. **Web Scraping Framework**: Use Python libraries such as `BeautifulSoup` and `Selenium` for scraping. Alternatively, any proven web scraping tool is acceptable. 2. **Data Cleaning**: Ensure consistency in data formatting and structure. 3. **Output File**: The final output must be a CSV file with columns as defined in the attached Excel template. 4. **Documentation**: Provide a clear README file explaining: - How to run the scraping tool. - Requirements for execution (e.g., Python version, dependencies). - Any challenges or limitations encountered during the project.
#### Important Notes - The tool should handle potential changes in website structure with minimal adjustments. - Data accuracy and integrity are paramount; cross-verify results to ensure reliability. - Respect website terms of service and avoid overloading sites with requests (implement proper rate limiting). - Ensure proper handling of errors and unexpected issues (e.g., CAPTCHA).
#### Deadline Specify the project completion date and any milestones for progress updates.
#### Deliverables 1. A Python script or package for web crawling. 2. A CSV file with structured data as per the given specifications. 3. README file with instructions for running the script and an overview of the project.
