Racing Post Website - Scraping
Summary
Freelancer Client is hiring: Racing Post Website - Scraping.
Location: Remote
I'm looking for a webscraper (maybe Python/Selenium?) to be built and to host on an existing Windows Server 2022 VPS. I want to scrape data from RacingPost.com as cut/paste no longer works following a major website refresh. I'm looking for something to :
1) Prompt me for the login, password and urls (multiple) to scrape.
3) Scroll to what appears as a table called RPR (though isn't a table).
4) Extract the table into Excel including hyperlinks (I don't need the meta info in the hovver over (see sample), just the text and url for each number in the table.
If there is an easy way to cut/paste this that could be made to work, I'm open to that also. Success is measured as hosted and working. ie I may need some install instructions.
Skills: Python, Excel, Web Scraping, Software Architecture, Windows Server, Data Extraction, Data Analysis, Selenium
Budget: $30–$250 USD
