Do I need technical knowledge to run the scraper?
No. Everything is delivered as an easy-to-run Python script or a Windows / Mac app for your own machine, with a short setup note. You click run; it scrapes and saves the data to CSV, Excel or JSON.
How much does web scraping cost?
A complete scraper script or app is a flat $60 per website, everything included, delivered in 90 minutes. If you only want the data, I quote by estimated record count. OCR applications are quoted by document structure. There are no monthly fees.
What if the site needs a login, captcha or proxies?
You provide the credentials, captcha service or proxies for your target site; I build around them. The build price stays $60.
Are there any recurring costs?
None from me. The script or app runs on your own machine, so there is no hosting or subscription. The only optional costs are proxies or paid AI tools, and only when your specific site or documents require them.
How do we communicate and pay?
Directly through Upwork — contract, secure messaging, file sharing and payment. You pay the $60 after testing the delivery. If you prefer, email contact@datacrawlpro.com and I will send an Upwork contract link.
Can we talk before I commit to anything?
Yes. Book a free 15-minute call from the calendar on this page — pick a slot in your timezone and the confirmation arrives by email. We go through the website or documents, the fields you need and the fixed price, so you know exactly what you get before any Upwork contract starts.
Can I hire you on Upwork for web scraping?
Yes. I work as an independent web scraping freelancer on Upwork with a Top Rated Plus profile, 100% Job Success and 166 completed jobs. Message me there or use the project form on this page.
Which websites and data can you scrape?
E-commerce stores, marketplaces, business directories, real-estate portals, job boards, review sites, news sites, PDFs and public APIs — products, prices, stock, listings, contact details, reviews and more. Public or authorized data only.
Which Python tools do you use for scraping?
Requests, httpx, BeautifulSoup and Scrapy for most sites; Playwright or Selenium for JavaScript-heavy pages; pandas for clean output. Scripts include retry logic, sensible rate limits and clear setup notes so you can re-run them whenever you need fresh data.
How is an OCR application priced?
By document structure. Clean, single-layout PDFs are the simplest; scanned images, photos, handwriting, tables and mixed layouts need more work. Send a sample file and I will quote a fixed price and delivery time. Free AI tools are used when they are enough, OpenAI tools when the material is hard.
What exactly do I receive, and what if the site changes?
The complete Python source or a packaged Windows / Mac app, a setup note and a sample output file. If the target website changes shortly after delivery, the fix is free; for longer-running projects I can also maintain the scraper on request.
