I need a developer to build an automated program that scrapes my dealership’s website for current inventory and outputs a structured file (CSV or Google Sheets). The program should:
Extract vehicle make, model, trim, stock status, and price. Run daily and update the inventory file. Handle JavaScript-rendered pages (using Playwright or Selenium). Organize data into a CSV file or Google Sheets with easy filtering. Flag vehicles that are out of stock or missing from the inventory. Be automated and scheduled (cron job, Windows Task Scheduler, or cloud-based). Ideal Candidate: Proficiency in Python (Playwright, Selenium, or BeautifulSoup). Experience with Google Sheets API or CSV processing. Ability to schedule automated tasks. Past experience working with car dealership inventory scraping (preferred but not required). Deliverables: A functional script or small program that can run automatically. Documentation on how to set up, run, and maintain the script. Support for initial setup and minor tweaks if needed. Budget & Timeline: Budget: $300 – $500 (depending on expertise and automation level). Timeline: 1-2 weeks for initial development and testing. How to Apply: Please provide:
A brief summary of your experience with web scraping. Examples of similar projects you’ve completed. Your estimated cost and timeline. Looking forward to working with you!
