🕸️ Web Scraping & Data Extraction

The Web Has Your Data. I’ll Bring It Home.

Product listings, competitor prices, directories, public records — I extract web data with Python, Selenium and BeautifulSoup and deliver it as clean, structured files or live feeds into your database. Responsibly built: rate-limited, terms-aware and validated with the same rigour as my data engineering pipelines.

Web Scraping Packages

🎯
One-Off Data Extraction

A single, structured extract from one or more websites — product catalogues, directories, listings, public records — delivered clean and deduplicated in the format you need.

Includes
  • Feasibility check & sample extract before you commit
  • Structured output: CSV, Excel, JSON or Google Sheets
  • Deduplication & basic cleaning included
  • Field/data dictionary describing every column
Python BeautifulSoup Pandas
Scheduled Scraper & Monitoring

Price monitoring, stock tracking, competitor watching — a scraper that runs daily or weekly in the cloud, detects changes and lands fresh data in your inbox, sheet or database automatically.

Includes
  • Cloud-hosted scheduler (no laptop left running)
  • Change detection & history kept run over run
  • Failure alerts & monitoring — you know if it breaks
  • Delivery to email, Google Sheets or a database
Selenium Cron / Cloud Monitoring
🔌
API Integration & Data Feeds

When a site offers an official API, that’s the better route — faster, stable and sanctioned. I build integrations that pull API data into your spreadsheets, database or warehouse on schedule.

Includes
  • API discovery: is there a sanctioned source?
  • Authentication, pagination & rate-limit handling
  • Scheduled sync into Sheets, SQL or warehouse
  • Documentation & key-rotation guidance
REST APIs Python Integrations
📊
Scrape, Clean & Dashboard

The full pipeline in one project: data extracted from the web, cleaned and validated, stored properly, and visualised in a Power BI dashboard that updates itself.

Includes
  • Scraper or API feed, scheduled in the cloud
  • Cleaning & deduplication pipeline
  • Storage in a database or warehouse
  • Power BI dashboard with scheduled refresh
End-to-End Power BI Pipeline

How It Works

1 🎯
Define the Target

Send the website(s) and the fields you need. I’ll check feasibility and the site’s terms, then reply with a free sample extract and a fixed quote.

2 🕷️
Build & Extract

The scraper runs rate-limited and validated — structure checks catch layout changes and bad rows before they ever reach your data.

3 📦
Deliver or Schedule

One-off jobs arrive as clean files with a data dictionary. Recurring feeds go live on a cloud schedule with monitoring, alerts and maintenance.

Scraping Done Like an Engineer, Not a Cowboy

⚖️

Responsible By Default

Rate-limited requests, robots.txt and site terms checked upfront, and official APIs preferred where they exist — data collection that won’t put your business at risk.

🐍

Full Python Toolchain

Selenium for JavaScript-heavy sites, BeautifulSoup for speed, Pandas for structuring — the same stack I’ve used for production data collection across hundreds of sources.

🧹

Clean Data, Not Raw Dumps

Scraped data arrives deduplicated, typed and validated — because a data engineer built the pipeline, not just the crawler.

📡

Feeds That Stay Alive

Scheduled scrapers ship with monitoring and failure alerts, and layout changes are fixed under maintenance — no silently stale data.

Know the site. Need the data?

Send the URL and the fields you’re after — you’ll get a feasibility check, a free sample extract and a fixed quote, usually the same day.

FAQ

Collecting publicly available data is generally lawful in the UK, but it depends on the site’s terms, copyright and — for personal data — GDPR. I check terms and robots.txt before quoting, scrape at respectful rates, prefer official APIs where they exist, and decline jobs that involve bypassing logins or paywalls, harvesting personal data for marketing, or breaching a site’s terms.
Yes — that’s what Selenium is for: it drives a real browser, so infinite scroll, click-to-expand and dynamically loaded content are all reachable. Static pages use the lighter BeautifulSoup route, which is faster and cheaper, and I’ll pick whichever the job needs.
Whatever fits your workflow: CSV, Excel, JSON, a Google Sheet that updates itself, or rows landed directly into your SQL database or warehouse. Every delivery includes a data dictionary so the columns are never a mystery.
Scheduled scrapers ship with structure validation, so a layout change raises an alert instead of quietly delivering garbage. Feeds on a maintenance plan get fixed as part of the monthly fee; one-off scripts can be repaired on request, usually within a day or two.
Yes — that’s the Scrape, Clean & Dashboard bundle: extraction, a cleaning pipeline and a Power BI dashboard in one fixed-price project. Or mix and match with Data Cleaning & Preparation and Power BI Dashboards separately.
