Public records. Court systems. Government platforms. Protected websites. I build automated data pipelines that transform difficult-to-access information into lead generation, monitoring systems, business intelligence, and decision-ready datasets. Most data extraction projects are not scraping problems. They are platform and data engineering problems. The real challenge is understanding the systems, APIs, anti-bot protections, public record platforms, and data flows underneath. Experience includes Tyler Odyssey, Socrata, Granicus, Laserfiche, ArcGIS, Akamai Bot Manager, DataDome, Cloudflare, reCaptcha, and dozens of government and enterprise platforms. What appears to be hundreds of independent websites is often a small number of underlying systems โ allowing one solution to scale across entire markets, counties, or industries. 20+ years in technology and 9+ years building data extraction systems, backed by a network security background. That combination is why protected platforms, hidden APIs, and anti-bot systems tend to be predictable engineering problems rather than obstacles. You describe the outcome you need. I design and build the extraction infrastructure. The result is data delivered where your team already works โ database, dashboard, CRM, spreadsheet, API, or scheduled report. Selected work: Government, court & public records โ 225+ counties monitored for court filings with ownership distress signals across NC and TX โ turning public records into actionable real estate leads โ 96K+ business entities extracted from state registries, classified by vertical with AI, enriched with contact data โ 5,000+ municipal meetings analyzed across 5 platforms (Granicus, CivicPlus, PrimeGov); architecture scales to any county without code changes Commercial data at scale โ 150K+ grocery products monitored every 2-5 hours across UK retailers, through Akamai Bot Manager โ 125K+ automotive parts synchronized daily from protected marketplaces โ 100K+ real estate listings deduplicated and enriched with tax records, powering automated valuation AI-augmented processing โ 50K+ companies classified via LLM with configurable framework โ 1,000+ medical clinic sources standardized for terminology โ Autonomous pipelines delivering decisions, not just data Stack: Python, JS/TS, AI integration, direct platform connections over browsers when possible. 28+ government platforms mapped and covered โ the adapter library grows with every engagement. Best fit for organizations that need reliable access to difficult data and prefer to delegate the problem instead of managing freelancers. Whether it's public records, commercial intelligence, valuation data, monitoring systems, or a difficult platform that others failed to extract from, the engineering layer is usually the same. What you get is resilient infrastructure, not a throwaway script. --- lead generation, lead generation pipeline, real estate leads, real estate data, property data, automated valuation, avm, mls data, skip tracing, court records, court records monitoring, public records, foreclosure data, distress signals, ownership data, business entities, competitor intelligence, price monitoring, data extraction, web scraping, data pipeline, automated data pipeline, anti-bot, cloudflare bypass, akamai bypass, datadome, perimeterx, hidden api, api integration, reverse engineering, python automation, browser automation, scheduled extraction, proxy rotation, captcha solving, ai data processing, llm integration, claude api, anthropic api, ai agents, data classification, data normalization, data cleaning, data enrichment, data validation, document extraction, ocr, etl, data orchestration, postgresql, supabase, structured data delivery, government data, municipal data, regulatory data, foia, granicus, tyler odyssey, socrata, playwright, scrapy, selenium.

I build custom web scraping systems in Python for JavaScript-heavy sites, browser automation flows, login-protected pages, and recurring data collection pipelines. If you need clean structured data delivered from a website into CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, APIs, or a database, I can build the scraper and the surrounding workflow. What I can help with: - Web scraping and data extraction - Python scrapers for dynamic websites - Selenium and browser automation - Reverse engineering XHR / network requests - Anti-bot aware scraping workflows - Scheduled scraping pipelines - Data cleanup, normalization, and delivery I work on both one-off scraping jobs and long-running scraping systems. My focus is reliability, maintainability, and clean output rather than fragile scripts that break after a small site change. Common use cases: - Lead and business directory scraping - E-commerce product and pricing scraping - Real estate and listing scraping - Report download automation - Internal dashboard and dataset generation Tech I use when appropriate: Python, Selenium, Playwright, requests, aiohttp, BeautifulSoup, lxml, browser automation, APIs, Docker If you have a target site and sample output format, send it over and I can tell you the best scraping approach.

Hi, I'm Saima Ali, a web scraping developer who builds clean, reliable scrapers in Python. I extract data from any website (including login-protected, dynamic, and JavaScript-heavy sites) and deliver it in CSV, Excel, JSON, or straight into your database. A past client wrote: "Do not hesitate to use this gem of a programmer. She knows her stuff inside out." That's the standard I aim for on every job. If you've been frustrated with scrapers that break after a week, miss data, or return messy files, I focus on the opposite: structured output, stable runs, and code you can actually maintain. What I can scrape for you: 1) E-commerce product data (Amazon, Shopify, eBay, AliExpress) โ titles, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, images 2) Real estate listings (Zillow, Redfin, Realtor) โ property details, prices, agent info 3) Lead generation data โ emails, phone numbers, company info from directories and business listings 4) Social media data โ Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, YouTube profiles and posts 5) Google Maps business scraping โ name, address, phone, ratings, reviews 6) PDF and document extraction โ catalogues, reports, invoices into structured tables 7) Login-protected and infinite-scroll sites โ sites others say are "impossible" to scrape 8) Existing scraper fixes, debugging, and stabilization 9) Scheduled scrapers that run daily/weekly with monitoring and email alerts My toolkit: Python ยท Scrapy ยท Selenium ยท Playwright ยท BeautifulSoup ยท Requests ยท Pandas ยท XPath ยท CSS Selectors ยท JSON ยท CSV ยท Excel ยท MySQL ยท PostgreSQL ยท MongoDB ยท Proxies ยท Headless browsers ยท Cron jobs ยท API integration How I work: 1) You send me the site(s) and the data fields you need 2) I check the site and tell you honestly if it's possible, how long it'll take, and the cost 3) I build the scraper and send you a sample output for approval 4) I deliver the full data + the script (if you want it) so you can re-run it later 5) Free fixes for 7 days after delivery if anything breaks I work fast most small jobs delivered in 24โ48 hours. I reply to messages quickly and I won't disappear mid-project. If I'm not the right fit for your project, I'll tell you upfront instead of wasting your time. Send me a message with the website link and the data fields you need. I'll reply within a few hours with a clear quote and timeline.

How to Hire Top Data Scrapers
How to hire data scrapers
Thereโs a lot of data publicly available on the web. If youโre looking to collect that data and organize it into a format where it can be accessed for analysis and use, a data scraper can help.
So how do you hire data scrapers? What follows are some tips for finding top data scrapers on Upwork.
How to shortlist data scraping professionals
As youโre browsing available data scraping consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Industry fit. While not required, it can be useful if a data scraper also understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to obtain the data you need.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., data scraping with Import.io and storing it for further analysis).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what itโs like to work with a particular data scraper.
How to write an effective data scraping job post
With a clear picture of your ideal data scraper in mind, itโs time to write that job post. Although you donโt need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโre the right fit for the project.
An effective data scraping job post should include:
- Scope of work: From data scraping to data visualization, list all the deliverables youโll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or technologies, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

DATA SCRAPERS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is data scraping?
Data scraping (also known as web scraping) is the practice of programmatically collecting and importing data from a website into a usable format, such as a spreadsheet. Data scrapers help businesses perform market research, gather business intelligence, and even pull data for use in web applications (e.g., travel price-comparison sites).
Hereโs a quick overview of the skills you should look for in data scraping consultants:
- Data scraping/web scraping
- Dynamic web queries with Excel
- Data scraping tools such as WebHarvy, Import.io, and Chromeโs Data Scraper plugin
- Data analytics
Why hire data scrapers?
The trick to finding top data scrapers is to identify your needs. Do you require only someone with experience performing dynamic web queries with Excel? Or will they also be expected to perform some analysis and data visualization? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.
How much does it cost to hire a data scraper?
Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
- An experienced data scraper may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
- A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their data scraping services more competitively.
Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
