#### 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.
